Presentation Guidelines
- Total time for each presentation is 20 minutes – please plan to speak for 15 minutes to leave time for questions and transitioning between speakers
- General rule of thumb is to plan for approximately 1-2 minutes/slide, so you should have approximately 10 – 20 slides
- Please avoid font size less than 14 at an absolute minimum
- This includes figures and tables – if they aren’t readable, there isn’t much point to include them in the presentation
- Avoid commercialism; ideally your company name and logo are only shown on the title page
- You may include the SEMI-THERM (red) logo on your page;
- Please include a reference to “SEMI-THERM 38, 2022” in a footer
- Company and trade names should not be shown more than once
- There is no need to include a slide that describes the history of your company, its size, etc.
- Slides should include slide numbers. Widescreen slide format is preferred.
