Talk Abstract
-------------

This time you didn't dodge fast enough and you've been asked to give a
presentation in front of the staff or at a seminar or possibly in
front of a much larger audience. Or maybe you give lots of talks, but
you wonder about how you can make your talks more effective?

This presentation is to present some ideas about effect presentations.
The material is all about organizational, appearance and other
surface. We will not cover the actual content of your presentations
(because it is, of course, too spectacular and would distract from the
how to do it bits).


------------------
Who Should Attend?
------------------

Honestly, everyone. This presentation will provide a refresher for the
seasoned professionals who haven't really thought about why they are
so good at presentations in years. It will provide a few nuggets of
knowledge that will boost those who are comfortable giving
presentations to be a tad better. It will provide enough information
to feel like you tried to drink from the fire hose of how to present
well for those who are just coming to the realization that they will
present something sometime soon.
