Event: Creating Impactful Presentations

Friday, January 28, 2022

12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Virtual via Zoom

This workshop will help you gain the skills to create impactful slide decks for professional presentations. Whether you're presenting to your class or your colleagues, a strong visual presentation is an important element in helping you tell your story or express your idea.

Participants will move from the founding principles of gestalt theories of design to storytelling techniques as we examine best practices for designing individual slides (including data-rich slides), and combining those slides into highly impactful presentations. No previous experience is necessary.

Learning Goals:

  1. Learn the theories of gestalt for designing impactful slides
  2. Learn theories of narrative storytelling for presentations

Open to Undergraduates, Graduate Students, Postdocs, Faculty, Staff
