The best, most effective presentations capture the audience quickly, hold their interest effortlessly, educate and entertain them in equal measure, and sometimes even inspire them. This tutorial explores simple and practical techniques for achieving those goals in any kind of technical presentation.
The class focuses on seven basic principles of good presentation, covering preparation, content selection, delivery techniques, and handling questions (or the lack thereof). It also explores a dozen simple techniques for making your slides not suck.
In recent years, this class has been available only to official OSCON speakers. This year we are once again opening it up to all attendees.

@Thomas… Due to an unexpected and tragic circumstance, Damain will be unable to attend and present at OSCON this year.
I’m still bummed about this as well. This was the tutorial I most wanted to attend. Will we find out why it was cancelled?
I was looking forward to this more than anything else at the conference.
