Presentation Guidelines

Presentation slides should focus on your accepted topic and be more graphically than textually oriented.

Absolutely no "selling" of products or services is permitted.

For inclusion in the Program Booklet we can accept the following formats:

Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt)
Note that PowerPoint 2007/2008 format (.pptx) files must be saved to .ppt format.
Open Office Impress (.odp)

If you use another program for your slides (e.g., Apple KeyNote), you will need to export them to one of the formats listed above.

Note that you will need to include any special fonts (such as corporate or foreign language fonts) along with the presentation so that we can be sure to output your slides accurately.

All presentations submitted for LISA Events are copyright the author and LISA. By submitting your presentation, you agree to allow LISA to make your presentation available from the LISA web site for download to the LISA membership and to the Event participants.
