Speaker Guidelines

Please provide 20 slides. We will show the slides for 15 seconds before automatically advancing them.
We do not allow animation. You may be able to incorporate music or short video elements if you coordinate with us far in advance.
It’s best not to be literal with your slides – imagery will be much more effective than text in this format, so try to have at most a few words per slide (no words = just fine, too).
Do not include a slide with your name or presentation title; we provide that for you and this slide doesn’t count towards your 20 slide limit.
This format is very unique and you should plan to rehearse extensively, even if you are an experienced speaker.
You can create your presentation in PowerPoint or Keynote. However, we’d like you to export your slideshow to a 1024×768 Adobe Acrobat PDF before sending it to us.
