Cary Millsap makes beautiful presentations about hard stuff. Once I enquired him - what's his trick. The trick is simple - count the total time your audience needs to spend for understanding your topic in two cases:
1. you prepare really well and deliver it so it's all clear at once;
2. you don't dedicate much time for preparation and your audience needs to work on their own afterwards.
Quite motivating...
The primary goal of the Forum is to encourage Lithuanian and Asian businesses to build constructive relationships with Lithuanian government agencies and associations and to look for opportunities for successful business ventures between Lithuanian and Asian companies.
The event will be attended by a number of high ranking Lithuanian government officials from various ministries and will be hosted by the Mayor of Vilnius, Artūras Zuokas.
We are honoured that four distinguished ambassadors to Lithuania have confirmed their attendance:
H. E. Kazuko SHIRAISHI, Ambassador of Japan
H. E. Monika Kapil MOHTA, Ambassador of India
H. E. H. Bomer PASARIBU, Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia
H. E. Baurzhan A.MUKHAMEJANOV, Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan
They will be joined by a number of prominent speakers from Lithuania and other countries.

Transmedia Storytelling: Introducing “The Book of the Year” (Lithuania, 2013)...Marija Mikalauskiene
An amazing Steampunk book was transformed into several transmedia stories: the same story was told in an audiobook, a comics, an interactive book, an animation and a Hawler game - a video game you control with your voice. Other formats are to follow.
The Book received the award of "The book of the year", 2014 (in Lithuania). The author is asked to present these multi-dimentional story telling modes in technology driven as well as art oriented conferences and expos.
This presentation was build based on the need to present all these formats in a unified manner.
It was a pleasure to work with such creative, yet in so many ways different, teams!
Best of luck to this wonderful project!
Information and the discourse of meanings it creates determines how we think, who we are and how we behave. Our understanding and the norms we accept form the „regimes of truth“ that become the basis on which society is built (M. Foucault, 1980; M. Castells, 2007). Therefore „communication and information have been fundamental sources of power and counter-power, of domination and social change“ (M. Castells, 2007). Then the ability of political agents to balance the forces of power greatly depends on the ability to effectively participate in this discourse and to adapt to the forms of communicative tools available. Yet many researchers tend to worry about the diminishing forms of counter-power that were formed and therefore suitable for power constellations of earlier periods (R. D. Putnam, T. Skocpol, 2003). The group of greatest concern is youth, yet there are but a few researches into how the communicative field influences the way young people understand politics and themselves within this field.
Keynote at Percona Live 2014
Peter Zaitsev, Percona Llc. CEO
Percona Llc. shared their corporate presentations’ theme and a link to their annual event (http://www.percona.com/live/conferences). At this precise event their CEO, Peter Zaitsev, was to give the very first opening Keynote.
After two Skype calls with Peter we had a draft of a short story of how he got interested in MySQL – the platform that he has build his successful company around.
This story helped achieve the primary goal of this Keynote – encourage the conference participants to interact more and to share their knowledge with new acquaintances.
In his presentation Peter also thanks the conference organizers, speakers and sponsors, he mentions the main topics that are to be discussed in the next few days of the conference.
Aurimas Navys - Lietuvos kariuomenės Strateginės komunikacijos departamento Informacinių operacijų karininkas - konferencijoje "Lūžio taškas" rengė pranešimą apie Propagandą.
Buvo malonu kartu dirbti ir kur kas geriau suprasti visuomenės saugumui labai aktualią, svarbią Propagandos temą.
Esu dėkinga Aurimui ir už nuoširdų atsiliepimą po bendro darbo ruošiant pranešimą:
"Marija M. yra ne tik puiki savo srities žinovė, bet ir dalykiška, maloniai bendraujanti asmenybė. Su jos pagalba kurdamas pristatymą "Lūžio taškui" ne tik aiškiau supratau savo pristatymo tikslą, bet buvau pamokytas logiškai nuosekliai į trumpą laiką sudėlioti kertinius pristatymo aspektus. Prezentacijos pateikimo forma padėjo prikaustyti itin nevienalytę auditoriją, o man pačiam pristatymo metu susikoncentruoti į pranešimo turinį. Rekomenduočiau Marijos M. pagalbą ir profesionalumą bet kuriam pranešėjui,- esu daręs šimtus pranešimų labai skirtingoms auditorijoms, tačiau subtiliai ir draugiškai buvau pamokytas daugelio naujų dalykų, už kuriuos sakau nuoširdų "dėkui"."
Ačiū Aurimui!
