Mining & Refining Google Display
Although this is a template, these slides have been created as examples to show you what’s possible within the template. PLEASE DELETE ALL EXAMPLE SLIDES AND NOTES BEFORE CREATING OR IMPORTING YOUR OWN DECK. YOU MUST USE THE SMX FOOTER ON YOUR TITLE SLIDE! The template works best if you use it to create a presentation from scratch. However, this blank layout offers you flexibility to insert your own slides above the SMX footer. You must use this footer at on almost all of your slides. If a screenshot overlaps the footer on occasion, that’s fine – but do your best to crop appropriately! Before you do anything else, replace “#XXa” in the footer with your session’s specific hashtag. In PowerPoint, Select VIEW>SLIDE MASTER to edit and include it on all slides of your presentation. Also add your @twitterhandle (or @companyhandle if you prefer). Ask your session coordinator for the session’s specific hashtag! This template is high-‐resolution 16:9. DO NOT change it to 4:3. Also note that if you import a 4:3 presentation into 16:9 you may encounter display issues. The template uses Century Gothic & Corbel as default fonts. Arial is a secondary font that may appear. Note that older versions of PowerPoint may not have these as an option; change to Arial or other standard sans-‐serif-‐font. When inserting text, you *MUST* use only standard fonts. We cannot guarantee event laptops will have specialty fonts installed, nor can we do so onsite. Powerpoints with animations may not translate well to pdf/slideshare format – you may also submit a 2nd version / scrubbed deck more appropriate for posting online by SMX production staff.
