What type of information should you include, and what type should you exclude, when preparing handouts?

You might want to include miniature copies of some slides; however, do not include every single slide on the audience handouts. Instead, you should annotate the slides and include additional information that does not fit on the slides you will display during the presentation. For example, details, background dates, and so on are appropriate for handouts. The content should be simple, concise, and to the point. Extraneous information should be omitted.
