I have a presentation that will go from August 4th to the 5th. On my title slide I'd like to list the dates in the most concise and simple way possible. What's the best style?

I currently have:

    August 4 and 5, 2011

I could also do:

    August 4 & 5, 2011

Is there a "correct" way to write this?
