Make sure the first slide of the presentation includes the title of the presentation and names of the presenters as accepted by the AADE Annual Meeting Planning Committee.
AADE does not impose a slide limit, however, presentations should be 50 minutes long plus 10 minutes of question and answer time for a total of 60 minutes.
Commercial logos and marketing messages are prohibited in presentations.
Please save your presentation using the following file name: LastName_FirstName_DDMM For example:

Accessing the Presentation at the Meeting in Indianapolis

If you choose to, you may review and edit your presentation in the Speaker Ready Room.
Your presentation will be automatically loaded on the computer in your presentation room.
All session rooms include a computer, LCD projector, screen, sound support, slide advancer and microphones for successful presentations.
When it is your turn, your presentation will be projected onto the screen by a technician.
Once the presentation is launched, you will control the program using a slide advancer.
At the end of the meeting, all files will be destroyed, and the computer hard drives will be reformatted.

Important Information

Computers in session rooms are Windows-based PCs, using Microsoft PowerPoint 2007.
All videos should be an .avi or .mpg (not .mov) format, so they run properly.
Presentations should be reviewed in the Speaker Ready Room to confirm that the file displays correctly.

For additional information on creating Power Point 2007 presentations or earlier versions, please see the Power Point Help website at http://office.microsoft.com/en–us/powerpoint/CH102247801033.aspx.

Media Supported

We recommend you bring a copy of your presentation to the meeting in case of a problem. Feel free to bring a Compact flash card, Memory Stick, Multi-media card or SD Card.

Ability to Edit PowerPoint Files in Speaker Ready Room

All PowerPoint presentations can be reviewed and edited in the Speaker Ready Room. It is recommended that all presentations be reviewed and edited for final version no less than two hours prior to the beginning of your session.

Fonts

We can only supply fonts that are included in the base installation of Windows. Any font other than these will need to be embedded into your PowerPoint presentation. For information on embedding fonts see below. We suggest using the fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial and Tahoma. Use of fonts not included in Windows can lead to words that bleed into graphics or bullets that may be the wrong style.

You can embed the fonts into your presentation by following these steps:

Office 2000

Click File, and then Save As.
On the Tools drop down menu select Embed TrueType Fonts.

Office 2003

On the File menu, click Save As.
On the toolbar, click Tools, click Save Options, select the Embed TrueType Fonts check box, and then do one of the following: o To embed all the characters in the font set, select embed all characters (best for editing by others).

Note If you plan to have others review and edit your file, it’s best to embed the full font set, though that creates a larger file.
