Presentation Guide - Best Practices and Tips

Slide shows can be tricky to get right, follow this guide to ensure the best and most consistent product for presentations here at Linfield! 

Step 1: Static Logo Slides - When to use them:

• ​​The First Slide: Please use a Linfield logo as the first slide of your presentation. This is ideal as it creates a consistent open for presentations that looks nice and shows off the Linfield brand.
• Between Presenters: If there is multiple presenters, place a logo slide between each. This creates a nice break for presenters, and eliminates confusion in transition between presenters.
• The End Slide: It is a great way to end a presentation, finishing with our brand. A simple "thank you" with the Linfield logo is perfect.

Step 2: Date and Time

• Date and Time: Actual event time for attendees. 
• Additional Time: 
  • Setup: the time needed for you to set up your room. (Ex: registration, paperwork, run throughs)
  • Takedown: the time needed for cleanup by you and by the properties team (ex: decorations, tables, chairs, etc.)
• Recurring Events 
  • You can select a daily, weekly, or monthly repeating pattern , that will end on a specific date. 
  • By selecting different days on the calendar, you can duplicate your event (assuming you are having your event at the same time and place).
  • By selecting the “View All Occurrences” tab, you can view your event dates/times in list format. You also have the opportunity to change your event time in this box. 

Step 3: Locations
