Upload 2026 Water Institute Presentation

Please bring your presentation on a flash drive and bring this to the room on site.

Please provide your presentation, or a pdf copy, to Indiana AWWA by Friday, November 20 for review. We review presentations for commercial content, slide legibility and evaluating if the presentation matches the time allowed. Consider the following points as you prepare your presentation:

• Keep the company logo to the first and last slide
• Make it educational, not a commercial
• The rooms are long and narrow. Slide design for distant viewers is important to consider.
  • Keep fonts to at least 30 point, 24 in minor occurrences, never 20 or less
  • Use dark letters on light background or light letters on dark background for best visibility
  • Avoid reds and greens for color blind people
  • Avoid backgrounds that fade from dark to light or light to dark
• Use more slides over using small fonts
• Use pictures and graphics over text where possible
• Verify video clips will work prior to getting to the show
• Estimate 1 slide per minute of presentation

If the file is large (> 20 MB) you may need to break it up, or save as a smaller file (pdf). Up to five 20M files may be uploaded at one time.   

Speaker Info, On Site

• We ask that you arrive in the classroom a minimum of ½-hour prior to your scheduled session time
• Check in with Registration at the Hoosier Business Center in the conference area to get your credentials. They can direct you to the proper location.
• If you have your own laptop or tablet, you could also bring it with the presentation loaded to use as a back-up in case any unexpected difficulties arise.
• When answering questions from the audience, please repeat the question first so that everyone in the room can hear.
