Host and Speaker: Jon Schwabish, Senior Fellow, Urban Institute

When faced with the prospect of giving a presentation, researchers and analysts often simply convert their reports to slides: text is converted to bullets, and figures and tables are simply copied and pasted. The problem with that approach is that presentations are a fundamentally different form of communication than are reports or journal articles. In this presentation, I give you the conceptual and practical underpinnings behind giving better presentations, and the tools and techniques to put them into practice.
