🧩 Insert your own slides: You're welcome to add custom slides that reflect your unique content or style. Just try to retain key branded slides—like the title slide—if possible, for a consistent conference look.
🖼️ Use the resource pages: At the end of the deck, you’ll find pages with branding info, colors, and guidelines—feel free to duplicate and use them in your presentation.
🧼 Clean up your deck: Delete or hide any slides you don’t plan to use before finalizing.
🎨 Respect the branding: Please do not alter the logo, color scheme, or fonts—this keeps the NACE Experience brand consistent across all sessions.
🎭 Be creative: Incorporate images, examples, or media that showcase your unique point of view while keeping the flow clear and engaging.
