Why Your Presentations Suck!

Why Your Presentations Suck!

By Adron Hall on June 11, 2012

Ok, so everybody’s presentations don’t suck. But the vast majority of them do. I know I’m not the first person to make this statement. I’d include a list of others who have said it but it would take more space than my entire blog does. Take this example slide deck from a presentation I saw […]

This Week’s Keynote Presentations

This Week’s Keynote Presentations

By Mark Suster on October 5, 2010

I have often complained how much I hate sitting on panels.  The reason is that conferences usually pack them up with speakers to maximize the number of high profile guests in attendance to sell more general admission tickets.  So with a panel of 5-6 people and 30-45 minutes it’s hard to have a real conversation.

The Day Hp Got Killed. Publicly. By HP.

The Day Hp Got Killed. Publicly. By HP.

By Zoli Erdos on September 19, 2010

Recently I wrote up a positive example how Twitter, and generally public participation can enliven a conference.  Today we’ve witnessed the opposite.  Twitter KO’d HP at Oracle OpenWorld.  No, let me correct that. HP KO’d HP.  This keynote will be a case study for years to come.  No more comments… just a few selected tweets, […]

AbleAdvisory: A 60 Minute Marketing Conference!

AbleAdvisory: A 60 Minute Marketing Conference!

By Guest Authors on June 25, 2010

This is kinda cool.  David Meerman Scott talks about the Influencer Project. Its a lineup of 60 thought leaders in the Digital influence/marketing space. Each speaker gets just 60 seconds to talk.  That’s right, what a great exercise… distilling your massive Powerpoint presentation down to 60 seconds of bottom line speak! Oh the conference is […]

Making The Most out of Sitting on Panels

Making The Most out of Sitting on Panels

By Mark Suster on March 3, 2010

Many of us in the technology, media and VC world sit on panels at lot.  Many of them are painfully boring.  It’s a shame since it’s such a golden opportunity for you to build awareness with your audience for who you are and what you do.  And it’s a surprisingly great way to meet people […]

How to Not Suck at a Group Presentation

How to Not Suck at a Group Presentation

By Mark Suster on February 1, 2010

Most people suck at presenting to big groups.  It’s a shame because the ability to nail these presentations at key conferences can be once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to influence journalists, business partners, potential employees, customers and VCs. This was evident at the Twiistup pre-event company pitch last week at UCLA.  Francisco Dao came up with the idea […]
