Presentation Templates

Mockup of presentation templates

All presentations should be created in PowerPointâ„¢. The ACVIM has created a standard PowerPointâ„¢ template for all speakers to use that is set up in the 16:9 aspect ratio. This template contains a variety of slide layouts and cover options to meet all your presentation needs.

If you choose not to use the presentation templates, please make sure your presentation is developed in the 16:9 aspect ratio, as that is what the conference platform will support. In addition, please ensure you have the following within your presentation slides:

  • Presentation title and speaker slide
  • Conflict of Interest slide
  • Questions/Final slide with names and contact information for all speakers
  • We also encourage you to include a slide reminding attendees to complete the session evaluation
