hear hear! It isn't often but sometimes you get a speaker that creates a perfect presentation. Love when that happens - Alexander van Elsas
Rolf Skyberg once dared presenting 400 slides here in Amsterdam, one of the better presentations I've seen. And he has a new one up on his blog (400+ slides) ;-). Or how about Ze Frank? Jonathan Harris? Anyone else have favorites? - Alexander van Elsas
Franz Lanting's presentation was remarkable to say the least. Felt very fortunate to watch the steam. That made my week. Thanks! - phil baumann
If I am in an audience and I am not captivated by the presenter, my thoughts wander and I inevitably start looking at email on my phone. But I also typically just leave if things don't change for the better during the session. There is no better way to let a speaker know that what they are saying/doing doesn't hold your attention than to just leave. - Chris E. Avis
Each presenter should ask himself upfront whether he makes the difference in turning the presentation from good to remarkable. Otherwise he just wastes his audiences time... Unfortunately there are not too many outstanding speakers around, so I'm glad you were among the lucky ones. - Arnd Gronenberg
I think the single most important fundemental for speaking is a passion for your material. I consder it a job well done when members of the audience come up afterward and mention my passion for the topic. That is exactly what I am trying to confer. Passion and excitement for new media (in most cases this is what I speak about) - Douglas E. Welch via twhirl
Douglas: in this case this presentation went way beyond passion. We were witnessing a lifetime of work presented in less than an hour. And magical work it is. It would be like sitting through Ansel Adams telling you about Yosemite in a slide show. - Robert Scoble
Well, I would say that is actually passion at the peak, summing up a life's work. You had better be passionate about that. (SMILE) - Douglas E. Welch via twhirl
I was one of the mesmerized thanks to Robert's broadcast. This was fantastic! - Kevin C. Tofel
Good post. I'll watch. Re: Sitting on your laptop or phone during a presentation. Bottom line is it's disrespectful to the presenter. This may sound old-school but it's manners. It's like people in meetings with their heads down in there laptop the whole time. It's why meetings run over and why people are LESS productive. - Ryan
Ryan: it is disrespectful, yes, but there's no way I'm going back, sorry. At Gnomedex EVERY ATTENDEE is on a laptop. - Robert Scoble
Remind me to never present at Gnomedex ;) - Ryan
