A good way to signal the end of your presentation is to set the screen to black (or some other colour) at the end of your slide show.
To do this, open your slide show and choose Tools, Options. When the Options dialogue box opens, click the View tab. Now select the check box labelled End With Black Slide and click OK to close the dialog box and save your selection.
If you want to end your slide show with some other colour on-screen, simply create a blank slide at the end of your slide show and set its background colour to whatever you want. Here’s how: Let’s say you create your blank slide and place it at the end of your slide show. Now choose Format, Background. When the Background dialog box opens, click the arrow at the right side of the list box and select More Colours. Select your colour from the Colours dialog box and click OK to close the box. Next, back in Background, click Apply to apply your selection to the current slide only.
When you reach your last slide, you can just leave it on screen until your audience has departed.
