I am preparing a presentation in latex using the beamer package. I am wondering what font size "pros" who give a lot of presentations use to make sure people in the back of the room can see. The default font size seems a bit small to me.

With beamer, I always use

\documentclass[14pt]{beamer}

The actual font size is larger than 14pt because of the scaling that beamer uses.
