Advanced Technical Presentation 1: Core Techniques
24 April 2017
For-profit: 0 CHF
No future instance of this course is planned yet
Overview
Presenting technical information to an audience is one of the hardest tasks any scientist can face — in particular because presenting effectively is not a natural talent for most people. Indeed, many technical presentations utterly fail in their primary objective — to convey a complex idea or argument clearly and convincingly.
This class explains — and demonstrates — the key techniques that combine to produce an effective and enjoyable technical presentation. All participants, from master or PhD students to lab heads will benefit from the techniques presented in this course.
Participants who want to delve deeper into the art and science of presentation skills are encouraged to register separately for the second part of this course, "Advanced technical presentation 2: Design and Delivery", which will take place in Lausanne the next day (Tuesday 2 May).
These classes are taught by Damian Conway, a well-known speaker and lecturer (see his official biography or his Wikipedia page). Damian already lectured at SIB several times, and consistently received amazing feedback on his courses.
Audience
