Tech Emergencies at the Podium: First Responder or Patient?
Tech Emergencies at the Podium: First Responder or Patient?
Presented on Tuesday, December 9, 2014
You are on the stage ready to present and your PPT presentation won’t work—or you are a session moderator and one of the speakers in your session is having difficulty with a presentation. Getting the speaker “up and running” as quickly as possible is of the essence. What do you do? This workshop will provide you with practical tips to troubleshoot the most common presentation software problems, along with critical pre-planning thresholds to help you and all other future speakers produce quality presentations audiences can read. (This workshop does NOT teach how to compose a PPT presentation.)
