PREPARING YOUR PRESENTATION
Prepare your ePoster presentation in accordance with the guidelines.
Do not enable document encryption or password protection.
• Disclosure Slide: All presenters are required to provide a declaration of “Conflict of Interest” to comply
with CME requirements. The second slide of your presentation should be used to make your declaration
as shown on the template.
• PowerPoint template: Please use the ePoster template provided which can be downloaded here. This
template includes a slide for your declaration.
• Page setup: The ePoster should be in landscape orientation with a screen ratio of 16:9. If this is not the
case when you download the template, please adjust your slides orientation and ratio:
o Select Design from the menu tab
o Click on Page setup and select On-Screen Show (16:9) as well as Portrait.
• Limitations: You may use a maximum of 4 slides in addition to the opening and disclosure slides in the
template. The file size should not exceed 16 Megabytes.
• File format: This presentation must be in PPT or PPTX format. Please use fonts:
o Arial, Helvetica, Calibri, Verdana, Symbol, or Times New Roman. Other fonts will lead to an error
message.
• Animations: Do not use animated objects or serial animations. Only the final view/status per slide will be
visible.
• Images and tables: You are welcome to use images and tables in your ePoster presentation, they must be
embedded in your file. Avoid animated GIF files and be careful to respect copyright and personal
anonymity with your images or photos. Do not insert or embed videos in your presentation.
• Apple Macintosh users: Please do not use “drag-and-drop” to insert pictures into Microsoft PowerPoint
files as graphs and images will not display correctly. Using the INSERT command from the menu will
virtually eliminate these issues. Do NOT use the INSERT command for videos (see above).
RECORDING INSTRUCTIONS
Included below are instructions to assist you with recording your presentation for submission. These steps take
place once you have finalised your PowerPoint content.
STEP 1:
Ensure you have prepared your presentation in the latest version of Microsoft PowerPoint or Office 365 and
watch the Microsoft PowerPoint tutorial video which provides step by step instructions on how to record your
presentation.

STEP 2:
For best results, your camera should be at eye level and positioned to frame your face, neck and shoulders with
just a little space above your head. To do this, raise your camera until it is positioned high enough to maintain eye
contact when you are sat-up straight. Ideally you want to be positioned with the light source directly behind your
camera so that it shines brightly and evenly on your face. Natural light is best but try to avoid having the main
light source in the background.
STEP 3:
When recording your presentation, look directly into the camera and not at the screen as this will help your
audience feel like you are talking to them. Be sure to use a headset with a built-in microphone to record the
audio, not just the internal microphone on your computer.
An example of a suitable pair of headphones is outlined below:
STEP 4:
Before commencing your recording, make sure that you are in a quiet space with windows closed and with no
distracting noises. Closer is better for audio, make a couple of test recordings to make sure the sound is clear
from where you are speaking. Smaller rooms are more helpful than large spaces to avoid echo, rooms with
carpets or rooms with soft furnishings may be better for audio.
TIP: Ensure you start your recording by reading your presentation title and name to set the scene.
STEP 5:
After completing your recording, playback your presentation to make sure you are happy with it.

microphone is closer to your mouth or you speak louder.
