If you have to give a technical presentation check out Scott Hanselman’s “11 Top Tips for a Successful Technical Presentation“. He offers some excellent things to think about prior to your presentation. Some of the tips are general enough that they apply to any presentation, not jut a technical presentation.

One of the tips he seems to put the most emphasis on, and for good reason, is “font size“. I’ve seen too many presentations where the presenter choose a font that looks good on his monitor but is way to small form the back of the presentation room. If your audience can’t read anything on the screen it’s pointless! You loose their attention as they struggle to read the screen and they soon give up and fall asleep. You need to go to the presentation room ahead of time and prepare!

Another excellent tip he gives is “Care“. You must care about what you are presenting. If you care about what you are presenting you’re more likely to do the research needed and you’ll have the enthusiasm needed to pull in your audience.
