We advise you to use about 6 to 10 PowerPoint slides. You have only 8 minutes to present your research, which means much more slides will make proper time management more difficult.
Use short sentences or keywords on your slides. This will assure your audience is listening to you instead of reading the slides.
Use an easy readable font (for example Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana) and use a size of at least 22 points.
Make sure the contrast of the background color and the font color of your slides are properly aligned.
