Prelude

IT ’S NOT ABOUT YOU, IT ’S ABOUT WHAT YOUR PUBLIC WILL LEARN FROM IT.

Presentation

The bar

What?

A great presentation consists of two important parts:well-structured content that empowers the

idea that you're trying to conveyan eloquent style of delivery that keeps your

audience's attention on your content.

Why?

UK: 20% of UK adults are struggling to read and write (research date: March 29th 2012)

Machine learning is way easier than it looks

Say we wanted to include a “you might also like” section at the bottom of this post. How would we go about that?K-Means

Example – K-means

Set ‘K’ to the number of clusters you wantChoose ‘K’ random pointsAssign each document to its closest pointChoose ‘K’ new points, from the ‘average’ of

all documents assigned to each pointRepeat steps 3-4. Until documents’

assignments stop changing.

The Big Problem is… YOU.

Or rather, the problem is thinking that what matters in your presentation is you.Because unless you're a paid performer – musician, comedian, motivational speaker – you are not the reason they came to the conference.They are sitting in your session because of someone that matters far more to them than you: themselves. They are there for their own experiences, and “watching you present” is not one of those experiences.

Conclusion (Guy Kawasaki – Apple)

A PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides,last no more than twenty minutes and contain no font smaller than thirty points.
