Presenter Guidelines

Presenter Guidelines

To support an inclusive, engaging, and accessible experience for all participants, we ask that presenters follow the guidelines below when preparing and delivering presentations for the virtual summit. These recommendations align with best practices for accessibility and plain language.

Creating An Accessible PowerPoint

For complete step-by-step guidance go to WebAim Microsoft PowerPoint Accessibility or Prezi Accessibility. WebAim also offers accessible PowerPoint templates.

Best Practices:

• If you include images or graphs, always add alt text. 
• Use a font size of 20 or greater.
• Use sans serif fonts such as Calibri or Arial.
• Use contrasting colors (white text on dark background or dark text on a light background).
• Use plain language. See CDC’s guidelines.
• Check accessibility using your PowerPoint Accessibility Tool.
• If a video is included in your presentation, it must have captioning.
