ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The current world’s circumstances have forced us to transition from in-person presentations to virtual formats. Many people have struggled to make this transition smoothly or effectively.  Although the goal remains the same for virtual/video presentations, your approach to them should be different than for in-person.

Whether you're giving a presentation for class, going through a virtual interview for a job or internship, or presenting as part of the NAAIA National Talent Development Competition, this live webinar will provide a roadmap.

1. Prepare

·    How to choose the right medium for your message: video, phone, email, etc. 

·    Tips and tricks to set the stage and look professional – lighting, camera, attire, etc.

·    Testing the technology – developing “Plan B”

2. Present

·    How to make your content more concise and focused, to fit shorter virtual attention spans

·    Best practices for being more dynamic and keeping the audience engaged

·    Guidelines for team presentations, to create smooth speaker/topic transitions

3. Follow-up

·    Ideas for virtual leave-behinds, including short personalized videos

·    Ideas to continue developing your skills

This presentation is a student-focused webinar.
