11.4 The Use of Conference Presentation Handouts

The practice of providing handouts to accompany CP slides is becoming less common in both hard and soft science CPs, especially given the increasingly frequent habit of audience members taking photographs of slides using cellphones or of slides being made available online. In a handful of cases, however, handouts were made available at the end of the CP for those who wished to take a copy. These were often placed at the entrance/exit to the presentation room.

However, if the presenter wishes to support their presentation with handouts, the following guidelines, based on my experience and observations, are suggested below:1.Do not distribute the handouts at the beginning of the presentation (activity-based workshops in which detailed instructions must be followed would be the main exception to this rule). This will only encourage audience members to read the printed text and ignore the actual CP.
