The document introduces a slideshow template called EST that aims to improve upon the typical ACM brand template. It focuses on using fewer words, increased legibility, and aesthetically pleasing design. The template recommends using a 3 color scheme, the Proxima Nova font or alternatives, and includes commonly used slide types while excluding some with poor layouts. It can be obtained from the listed GitHub URL.
