=How to create and deliver memorable presentations= Sharon Carlson, Tara Fagan

A run through of basic presentation tips - essentially how to make sure your powerpoint/keynote presentation doesn't look like it was written 10 years ago. Some good tips.

Some good reminders about the need to plan, thinking about the audience, what really is the core message, and in particular slide design - contrast of font and background, big,bold font, few words on a slide (6 x 6 rule). Keep the interest by using the unexpected or appealing to the emotive etc

A Powerpoint should be a few ideas to capture the audience. If more is required then type in a Word Doc. etc

[there should be handouts uploaded but they don't seem to be there]

Tom says: Presenters tried a bit hard, but i have a few key notes if anyone wants to look. Their whole rationale is based on the "Zen" style of presentation...
