Continuing Education Session: Creating Presentations That Deliver Results
Continuing Education Session: Creating Presentations That Deliver Results
Workshop, Pre-registration required
Audience: College Students, Graduate Students, Professionals, Entrepreneurs
This interactive workshop focuses on helping participants learn the building blocks of creating effective presentations that get results. At some point in our lives, we all have to deliver a presentation – whether it’s to a crowd of a 1,000 or just to our boss. We often have a lot weighing on the outcome of these presentations – from startup funding to career advancement – yet most of us don’t know how to create presentations that really deliver. It can take years of trial and error to get it right, or simply learning a few best practices that even non-designers can use to create powerful, impactful decks.
We will cover presentations in general and will discuss the best practices associated with a variety of presentation-types, including: startup investment decks, non-profit sponsor funding requests, intra-office presentations, and sales pitches.
In this workshop, we will collaborate to understand why most presentations are bad and how we can avoid the common pitfalls of deck design. Attendees should come prepared for an interactive session where you’ll collaborate with your peers to create a more effective presentation and practice delivering it. Attendees are invited to come with their own presentation (or send it to the instructor in advance) so that we can apply our newly learned skills to real-world examples.
