I had hoped that at a national conference on health communications the bar would be higher for quality of presentations. Of the 8 presentations I have seen..only one presentor used his slides to compliment what he was saying. Most are using their slides to show their outlines.
Most presentations are 20 minutes long. Three-4 presentations are grouped into one themed session. The presentations are OK....nothining inspiring yet. You can influence and inspire in 20 minutes..just watch TEDtalks.
A few more thoughts
It's not enough to know your content. You need to present it in a way that inspires. Show examples!
Room set up matters: in some of the rooms the presentor is in the middle and slides are shown on two screens to the far left and right.
As a participant I feel like I am watching a tennis match...have to choose between looking at the presentor and looking at the slides.
