This is the presentation that Brian Gough and Rhitt Growl used at LACUE 2009. This deals with ways to improve your presentatino skills from Process to Design to Delivery. We would like to give credit to "Death by PowerPoint" and "Simplicity in Design" for much of our research. We have added these 2 presentations to our blog site as reference material.
