**Please note that the preferred format for handouts is a PowerPoint presentation or an outline style. In order for your handouts to be legible, the packet that you provide to OASOTN will need to be black lettering on a white background with few if any photos, diagrams, or artwork. The presentation that you conduct at the conference can include all of this plus media (film clips, etc.) but please clearly indicate your AV needs in advance. Please feel free to be as creative as you want for the actual presentation, the handouts, however, will need to be provided to us in a clean copy format in order to make legible handouts.

Thank you
