Oral presentations are about having something to say and being able to say it—instead of just “explaining slides” to the audience. This workshop offers a no-nonsense approach to structuring and delivering research talks. It also offers tips on how to manage the nervousness associated with speaking in public. Creating Effective Presentation Slides is the companion workshop held in the afternoon.

Learning Outcomes
This workshop will enable you to:
• understand the basic principles of effective communication
• organize your research story into a meaningful sequence
• deliver your presentation effectively, both verbally and nonverbally

Intended Audience
This workshop is intended for anyone who must prepare and deliver research presentations. Both novice and experienced speakers can expect to gain a lot from it.
