reservation page.
Topic:
Managing Multiple Information Channels: Strategies for Effective Presentations
What is the best way to get information across to your audience when you give a presentation? Slides, handouts, speech? It depends on the kinds of information you need to impart. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of these and other information channels available to you when you speak to a group, and how to use each to best advantage. Joe Devney will give you both theory and examples to help you design more effective presentations, so that your audiences will better understand and remember what you have to say. The target audience includes anyone who expects to give a presentation at work, through STC or other volunteer or professional organizations, or in an academic setting.
Speaker:
Joe Devney
Besides delivering a number of presentations himself through STC and other organizations, Joe Devney has sat through over a hundred presentations by others, analyzing what works and what doesn't. He also has a Master's degree in Language and Communication, as well as formal training in public speaking and fifteen years' experience in technical communication. Devney is Immediate Past President of STC Berkeley and an STC Associate Fellow.
