Description: If you're considering public speaking on a technical event or you have already spoken, but want to improve your skills, you can learn new techniques from this training. We will use the complete Akademy conference as a learning experience.

  2. The form: slides, delivery, body language
  3. Making your presentation shine
  4. Answers to common questions: Where to speak? How to prepare an abstract?
