What should be the mix of presentation versus interaction at meetings? Our culture now favors interaction—but our meetings haven't caught up.

“I just let the data speak for itself”
Risky!
Different audiences will take away different meanings from the same data. The audience hasn’t got the time to consider all the nuances - cut to the chase and tell them the meaning they should take away.
“It’s more of a comment than a question.”
We’ve all been there – and you don’t have to put up with it. If you’re the speaker, you own the space. Tactfully suggest that you’re prioritising people with questions? Roll your eyes? Throw things at them? The choice is yours!
Requiring learning objectives for conference presentations sucks. They leave no place for passion, changing worldviews, or evoking action.

Please don't call me a speaker. Even if you give me just 25 minutes, I'll include time for people to interact with the content I'm sharing.

Every minute you're speaking solo at a conference session sucks up hours of people's lives. Is your content worth their time?

Why is it important for presenters to incorporate audience engagement? Because participation improves learning—and audiences love it!
Giving a talk?
Don't let the tech take you by surprise.
Figure out beforehand: what kind of mic is it, should I bring my own clicker, can I just plug in my laptop, what is my backup plan? Be prepared - it helps with the nerves and gives you confidence.
Can I just present off my laptop screen?
Yes, to about 3 or 4 people, and then only when you're all sat at the same table.
Any more than that and you want to be up on a big projector screen or display screen.
If people can't see what you're doing -what's the point.
Microphones Do I really need a microphone?
Yes! You might think you have a booming voice, but It's not about you & folks at the back may be struggling with the echo, or the hum of the air con, or using a hearing aid & induction loop.
If its provided, use the mic.

Speed vs complexity
In a talk, the trade-off of speed and complexity is a fine balance...
Fast + Complex = Overload
Slow + Simple = Patronising
Fast + Simple = Broad understanding
Slow + Complex = Deep understanding
