Guidelines for all Proceedings Content

• Fonts: Use a standard serif font such as Times New Roman or a sans‐serif font such as Arial or Helvetica. Avoid using italics, ALL CAPS, and boldface for more than a few words as they are difficult to read.
  
  
• Avoid jargon and acronyms: Keep in mind that not everyone in the audience works in your particular specialty or shares your level of expertise. Please write out acronyms and abbreviations.
  
  
• Proofread, spell‐check, and practice. Go through your slides and make sure the spelling is correct; the Proceedings Editor will not make corrections.
  
  
• Submission format: CCUMC requires that presenters submit their proceedings documents (presentation and all supporting material) in PDF. In submitting a PDF, you will have complete control over
  your output, and can use whatever programs you prefer to create your content. If you
  are going to be using a resource that cannot produce a PDF, please contact the
  Proceedings Editor at proceedings@ccumc.org.  
  
  
• File size limits: Individual files are limited to 30MG. Please link out to videos or other media content.

Presentation PowerPoint

• First Slide: Include your presentation title and the name and institution/organization of each presenter.
  
  
• Last Slide: Provide contact information for all presenters: Name, position title, institution, and email.
  
  
• Font size: 28 or 32 point size, with titles being 36 to 44 point size. Font size less than 24 should only be used when adding explanatory text to a graph or diagram, where you could use a 20 point font size.
