Think of your audience/meeting attendees - too much text on a slide can overwhelm and cause confusion. You should aim to speak clearly and provide a simple presentation of information.
- The real value of slides is to highlight what you are saying, not for you to read from directly. Any data that is included should be easily readable by the audience.
