The reason that so many people get these kinds of presentations wrong is because they don’t think about the format of conference presentations while planning and creating their slides.

This week, I have the pleasure to traveling to Philadelphia, PA to teach our two-day workshop on Visual Communications for E-Learning.

This means doing away with the default fonts you’ve become accustomed to using and selecting new fonts that communicate a sense of personality and design.
