Plenary Sessions - PowerPoint Presentations
The plenary sessions will be held in Conference Room 313C (Oahu Room), on the third floor of the Hawaii Convention Center. A MultiSync NEC VT540 LCD projector will be used for PowerPoint presentations. There will be two laptop PCs available for presentations:

one laptop with Windows XP running Office XP

one laptop with Windows 2000 running Office 2000

While attempts will be made to secure a MAC PC, Macintosh users are advised to bring their own laptop for their presentation.

Regarding the formatting of slides, it is important to have significant color contrast between the background and text of each slide. A dark background of black or blue with bright font colors (cyan, light blue, yellow, light green) is recommended. The recommended font sizes are 20 for slide titles and sections, size 16 for text. This will ensure that participants at the rear of the conference room will be able to read the slides.

For charts or graphs within a slide:

in order to maximize contrast, the chart's background should be white. Use a dark background if slide text is a bright color.

chart lines, text and labels should be black or dark colors.

text and labels should be 16 pts. to ensure readibility

To save time between speakers it will be helpful if presentations were saved to one of the abovementioned laptops dedicated for presentations. Speakers are advised to have their presentation saved to a CD or zip disk. A way to improve transition between slides is to let someone load the files and go through each slide before your presentation begins. This will load each slide into the PowerPoint cache memory.

Secretariat Administration Room
Room 303B will serve as the SCTB 15 secretariat and administrative room. This is also on the third floor, around the corner from the main SCTB 15 meeting room. PC computers with Windows Office 2000 and Internet access, a laser printer and photocopier will be available for SCTB 15 meeting tasks.
