It is recommended to upload your presentation 3 days before the conference

will be scanned before transferring the presentation to the presentation
folder.

Considerations for PC Users [create on PC then move to Mac]
Appropriate extension usage: use .PPTX, .PPSX if saving from PowerPoint
2007/2008/2010/2011 format or use .PPT or .PPS if saving to an
earlier-version format or saving from an earlier version.
Copy the media file to the folder where the PowerPoint file is, and only
then insert it; otherwise links to most media files will break.
AVI or MPEG are better choice files for videos or sounds; don't use WMV
(Windows Media Player).
Usage of fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, Courier and Symbol are best
presented on MACS.
Don't squeeze your text into placeholders: Text rendering on PC vs MAC
(font substitution) can cause your squeezed text to get cut off by text
boxes.
