I was happy to help get some of our work at Yahoo! accepted into the IA Summit – we’re presenting a 45min session on Communicating Concepts through Comics and doing a full day workshop where we teach people to use the technique. There’s also two South by Southwest panels I’m participating in, one as a moderator and one as a panelist. The following schedule is as much for my own record keeping but in case you’re interested:

In preparation for these, I’ve been visiting or revisiting some presentations with particular attention to Lawrence Lessig’s presentation style and Dick Hardt’s derivative (which I’m less of a fan of). I also went back to Jeff Veen’s presentation notes – the most important and potentially obscure of which is to remember to take off the conference badge because it reflects and distracts. Finally, I watched a video of a dry run. Let me just say, listening to your own recorded voice is strange, watching a recorded video of yourself presenting is just plain unnerving.

If anyone has any additional presentation tips I’d definitely love to hear them.

__Update:__ Berkeley got postponed. Did Fray Cafe open mic. Added Lap Pop.
