The Better Presentations Workshop is a two-day intensive workshop of lecture and hands-on work to provide an overview of concepts, techniques, and methods used to create effective, memorable presentations.
This workshop is divided into three main parts to guide attendees’ process from presentation conceptualization, to creation, to delivery. The first part focuses on planning the presentation; instead of booting up the computer and immediately inserting text, graphs, and images onto slides, attendees are presented with a process for outlining the content of their presentation. The second part is about building the presentation: how to create more effective text, graph, and image slides. The final section moves to the practical details of giving the presentation.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics:
- Learn how to increase message clarity and impact through better slide design
- Improve presentations to more effectively communicate data and analysis
- Learn, and exchange ideas about, presentation best practices
- Think critically about presentation slide design
