About the workshop

Your slides, and how you use them, can have a tremendous impact on whether your message is communicated or lost -- whether your audience is engaged or distracted. This workshop will first illustrate a few simple elements to improve your slide design, content flow and data visualization in order to maximize the impact of your next presentation. Bring your laptops and a slide presentation you would like to develop or improve.

Who should attend

• Scientists
• Clinicians
• Engineers
• Anyone who is expecting to present complex ideas using slides
