275: Virtual Presentation Tips: Keep These Things In Mind When Presenting Virtually At Conferences
I just have to say it: A virtual keynote in Istanbul isn’t the same as hopping across the pond, meeting people face-to-face and enjoying the city while keynoting live. But, here we are thanks to COVID. Virtual conferences are now more prevalent and with that I thought I’d share my latest virtual presentation tips. I’ve done webinars and livestreams for a while now, but this year was a record-year so to speak for virtual presentations.
My stage is my basement office in the Midwest of the U.S. Sometimes I use a virtual background even!
There are some things to consider. How will the presentation look, what's the setup, etc. Let's dive in and know how to be prepared.
