“Slide, slide, slide…”I’ve been humming this to myself to the tune of Aretha Franklin’s Chain of Fools. I’m working on materials for the slide decks for our presentations at Lotusphere 2010.
For those who may in any way think that preparing for Lotusphere is easy. THINK AGAIN! I am a new speaker, but I’m presenting with experienced Lotusphere speakers, and from my bird’s eye view it looks like hard work no matter if you’re a newbie or if you’ve been a Lotusphere speaker for ten years!
My sessions are running the gamut from Jumpstart, Best Practices to Show ‘N Tell. And each session definitely has its own nuances for preparing slides. And the thoughts running through my head include – what would I have like to see if I was sitting in the audience? How can I best connect with the attendees without having 32 bullets on one slide? How can I make the content informative and engaging at the same time?
A lot of work is going into session prep over the next two weeks. So gear up and be ready in January for another great Lotusphere!
