Non-SOT Event: Better Presentations Workshop: From Design to Delivery

Better Presentations: From Design to Delivery by the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health is a training workshop that provides a well-rounded introduction to improving how people design and deliver their work. This workshop is divided into three main parts to guide attendees’ process from presentation conceptualization, to creation, to delivery. The first part focuses on planning the presentation; instead of booting up the computer and immediately inserting text, graphs, and images onto slides, attendees are presented with a process for outlining the content of their presentation. The second part is about building the presentation: how to create more effective text, graph, and image slides. The final section moves to the practical details of giving the presentation.

This course is for anyone interested in being a better, more effective, and more persuasive presenter. Participants should have the Microsoft PowerPoint software program installed on their computer. The workshop will help attendees develop, design, and deliver better presentations including:

• People working with and analyzing data including analysts, researchers, data scientists, and data engineers who are interested in improving how they present their work.
• Communication designers and other creatives looking to expand their communication design skillset.

Capacity is limited. Paid registration is required to attend.
