| Over the last 45 years, conference presentation formats have remained basically the same, mini-papers. Overhead transparencies were just replaced with PowerPoint slides with copied/pasted content from the papers. Why has the format not changed? The argument is - "that is the way presentations have always been done and no one will respect the research if the research results are not presented that way". However, attendees often complain that sessions are boring with too many words, too many figures, and more importantly many times the presenters run out of time before getting to their results. This session will explore current professional trends and tools for more engaging presentations. |
