As conference attendees, we have respect for those that stand before us to give forth upon topics diverse and engaging. It's always been said that public speaking is a challenge, and infront of technical peers it can seem more difficult but it doesn't have to be. We will discuss taking a training course and developing it into an entertaining presentation that will facilitate the learning process and leave a lasting impression upon attendees. We will discuss several methods for preparing to give a presentation, ways to improve existing material and tips and techniques for enhancing the experience for both students and instructor. Shakespeare said "the play's the thing" and while you won't be ready to perform as Elphaba, you will have a toolkit of methods and thoughts to improve your presentations.
