What Makes a  Great Presentation?
Time:  Starts on Time, Runs on Time
Conversation not just Presentation
Content:  the why, rather than the what
The Physical Space
Images
Meaningful stories;  make connections
Diversity of presenters
Time for questions
Ideas, not just facts
Try some different ways to engage: Multiple intelligences www.howardgardner.com
Hands-on
Conversation, interviews,  small groups
Get out from behind the podium
Be passionate –and be precise
Make connections
Don’t just read your talk—make eye contact. And don’t read out your panel members qualifications
Make sure your session delivers what the description promises.
A maximum of three takeaway points ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Linda Norris, The Uncataloged Museum,  http://uncatalogedmuseum.blogspot.com E-mail:  [email_address]
