Disclosures should list any relevant personal or financial relationships including but not limited to affiliations, grants, research support, or other financial or material support.
- All PowerPoint presentations must be in a 16:9 (widescreen) format.
- Please use black Arial font. Use color for emphasis only and consider if those accent colors will be eligible throughout the room. Text should be at a minimum of 24 pt to ensure it’s readable for the audience.
