Towson Spark

Presenter Resources

Slide Guidelines

Each presenter will have 5 minutes and 20 automatically-advanced slides to *spark* a conversation about their subject matter.

• Use exactly 20 slides (including the title slide)
• Use text sparingly
• Use as many images as possible; you’re welcome to cover the whole slide area with an image (without headers or borders)
• Avoid animation

Note: Event coordinators will set up final timings to ensure slides auto-advance every 15 seconds.
