How to Get a Standing Ovation as a Conference Speaker | akos.ma

I’ve delivered a fair number of talks in my time–and have definitely improved over the years of doing so.

I also watch every single talk at our events in detail each year as I edit the transcripts (and most also in person at the events).

I have many strongly held thoughts about what in particular speakers should avoid, that aren’t entirely common–the top being never ever, ever, live code on a presentation–there’s nothing that well selected code excepts and possibly a screencast can’t demonstrate much more coherently and accessibly.

Here Adrian Kosmaczewski outlines his thoughts on what for excellent presentations. I agree with every one of these suggestions.
