Technical presentations - deep knowledge, good content and a slick slide deck should do it, right? What if I add in storytelling elements to tie the whole thing together?

Those are indeed the ingredients needed for a good presentation, but there is something more. Something that very few technical presenters consider. Something ephemeral, something hard to grasp.

That something is the glue that binds a great presentation together I'm talking about emotional investment, and in essence - how to conduct your audience like an orchestra.

By choosing the story and how that story is delivered, we can influence the emotional state of our audience. By engaging multiple senses and attaching emotions to a story, we can make the entire presentation much more memorable.

This session is a bit of an emotional roller coaster as I show you how to create both highs and lows by choosing what story I tell and how I tell it.

Come spend 75 minutes learning skills you didn't think were part of the technical presenter's toolbox - but turned out to be essential to make your point stick.
