Giving effective and interactive presentations

Abstract

The purpose of the workshop is to help presenters to get away from the ‘death-by-PowerPoint’ that so many of us are subjected to at conferences. A traditional approach seems to be to have as many slides as possible and to talk quickly in the short timeframe often allowed at conferences. Adopting a more educational approach based on learning and teaching principles (that presenters no doubt apply elsewhere) helps overcome the traditional transmission model so often used at conferences.
