Presentation techniques for UXers

As designers and UXers you’re often asked to show off what you’ve made at work. Lucky you! Because giving a demo or a presentation makes you more visible to your colleagues, gives you great networking opportunities and can help further your career.

In this workshop, Christine and Elisabeth will help you leverage this benefit by teaching you how to master both the humble demo and the menacing conference talk through some tips and techniques for how to design your presentation and how to use your voice and your body language to your advantage.

They will also talk about how to avoid letting your nerves get the better of you, and then you get a chance to try out these techniques with PowerPoint Karaoke, a game where you will give a presentation about a random topic that you dont know beforehand.
