Abstract

Here is how Patrick Henry Winston, Ford Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science at MIT, likes to challenge his new students: "Your career will be determined by how your write, how you speak, and the quality of your ideas - in that order !" In this talk, we'll present practical tools to create an effective presentation. Our framework is divided into three parts: the message, the story and the delivery. We'll cover how to build a clear and vivid message, design your slides, tell a compelling story and deliver confidently.
