If you are using PowerPoint/slides, please consider the following guidelines to make your presentation as accessible as possible:

·         Ensure good contrast between text colours and background colours e.g. dark text on a light background (off-white, light grey, cream, pastel - avoid white backgrounds due to glare). Try to avoid contrasting red and green as these colours are hard to distinguish for those with colour blindness. 

·         Keep the typeface/font simple (e.g. Arial, Calibri, Century Gothic, Helvetica, Tahoma or Verdana).

·         Use large type sizes. To make the main text readable, it is recommended to use a font size of 20 points (minimum) and for headings, use a font size of 30 points (minimum). Avoid italics, which can be difficult to read. 

·         Keep the layout simple and avoid overloading each page by limiting the amount of text on each slide.

·         Please include your pronouns alongside your name and affiliation in your title slide.

Remember to bring your PowerPoint presentations on a USB stick. Please do not expect to be able to download your PowerPoint from emails, online clouds etc. during the panel, or during the break prior to your panel.
