Do you create your own PPT slides? I do. I like to use the same template so I don’t forget to add or update certain elements. For example:

My twitter handle at the bottom of each slide. Small but legible.
Full contact information as my final slide. (Logo, email, URL, phone, and a reminder to subscribe to my blog.)
Update the Handout Master, using the name/date of the current presentation, so that printed handouts don’t have outdated information.
A copyright notice at the bottom of the Handout Master.

Bonus tip #1: You could also add your URL and an email (tasteful and small) at the bottom of each slide.

Bonus tip #2: If your event has its own hashtag, print it at the bottom of each slide so folks can share your brilliant comments. Make sure you encourage this at the beginning of your presentation. It’s usually overlooked.

These PPT tips help make your presentations professional and complete. Don’t you want audience members to know who you are?

Tiny footprints on your slides and handouts are the answer.
