"Making the Most of Your Presentation”Registration is now open for a workshop with Jean-luc Doumont from Principiae on Saturday, April 2, 2022 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Strong presentation skills are a key to success for researchers, engineers, and many other professionals. Yet many speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they usually are in their work, they approach speaking intuitively or haphazardly, with much good will but seldom with an effective outcome. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Doumont proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver an oral presentation: he covers structure, slides, and delivery, as well as stage fright. The registration deadline for this workshop is March 31.
