How to give your FIRST conference presentation? Some last-minute tips and tricks
Grzegorz Śpiewak IATEFL Poland
Summary
As the title promises, this is a highly practical, how-to workshop, for anyone who is about to make their very first conference appearance as a speaker at this year's IATEFL PL conference. Given that you'll be presentating the very next day (or the day after), it's going to be too late to rethink your session concept and content (so we'll asume it's great). But it's certainly not goin to be too late to give your slides - and possibly your script - a once over, that very night, in your hotel room, taking advantage of what I have learnt over the years as a presenter, and then as a mentor to other presenters, at events large or small. So, come along and take your pick of some of these tricks of the presenter's trade, and make your Gdansk debut truly memorable for you and your participants.
