Presentation Assistance

Many thanks for your contribution to the 2014 World Indigenous Peoples' Conference on Viral Hepatitis.

PowerPoint Presentation Tips
It is not easy to design a PowerPoint that both gets your major points across, but is also visually pleasing. Find out how to design a great PowerPoint presentation here.
  • All text should be in PowerPoint, preferably in light text on a dark background
  • There should be no more than 5 x 1 line bullet points per slide
  • Optimum title text is 45 - 55 points and no smaller than 36 points
  •  Body text should be at least 26 points
  • Avoid UPPERCASE letters as they are hard to read
  • Please keep to the time limit of your presentation
Poster Presentation Information
Presenters are asked to include a disclosure of interest slide in their presentation.

ASHM has a code of conduct which governs its financial relationships for staff, board, and other  representatives. Office holders are required to disclose their relationships with industry and this is published in the Annual Report. ASHM recognised the considerable contribution that industry partners make to professional and research activities and we value these greatly.

We are also looking at ways to increase opportunities of transparency for disclosing conflicts of interest and to make this as transparent as possible for presenters. One common way of doing this is to acknowledge these relationships in publications and presentations.

We have developed a simple template for declaring these relationships and potential conflicts as part of each presentation you make. Disclosures should relate to the substance of the research being presented. Please click here to view the sample slide we have created.
