These guidelines will keep the event running smoothly and make your presentation more accessible to all participants, including those with colorblindness, low vision, who are Deaf/deaf or hard of hearing, and/or who are participating virtually. We strongly encourage you to follow these guidelines.
- Upload early.
- If you are uploading anything other than PDF, please upload a partner PDF file. PDF tends to be more accessible to the community.
- Stick to your time limit.
- Allow time for questions!
- Fonts. Make sure fonts are at least size 18 and that there is good contrast between text and background. Avoid all-caps text.
- in MS Powerpoint, use the function "Check Accessibility" under the tab "Review"
- Colors. Avoid using color alone to convey information in plots, or check to make sure that colors in plots are distinguishable to those with colorblindness. A few tools that can help with this:
-
- For determining whether the color scheme you already use is accessible:
- in MS Powerpoint, use the function "Check Accessibility" under the tab "Review" .
- Color Oracle
- Color Contrast Analyser from the Paciello Group
- For choosing a new accessible color scheme, here is one from the Belle-II collaboration (scroll to the bottom): Belle II Plotting Style Guide
- For determining whether the color scheme you already use is accessible:
-
- Alt-text. For electronic versions of presentations posted to Indico, make “alt-text” descriptions for images, which make their content accessible to people who use screen-reader technology.
- in MS Powerpoint, use the function "Check Accessibility" under the tab "Review"
