For many years, I've watched the Apple keynote webcasts. Steve Job's presentations are highly anticipated for surprise announcements as much as they are for the quality of the presentation. Watching is one thing; being there is truly a memorable experience. In January 2003 I was at MacWorld in San Francisco and landed a ticket to the keynote speech.
The video below provides some great tips to make your presentations engaging and memorable. The tips are nothing new; they are not groundbreaking. When you are in a room with an audience they will make a positive difference in the impression made upon the audience.
You may not elicit goosebumps, oohs and ahhs like in 2003 when the new 12 inch and 17 inch Powerbooks were unveiled. You may not win the business you were hoping to get. But you will have the satisfaction of NOT providing yet another bullet-filled Powerpoint audience yawner.
Coincidentally, that year I attended Steve Job's keynote speech, Steve also introduced the Safari Browser and Keynote. Keynote is my favorite presentation application (a Powerpoint alternative). All attendees were provided Keynote 1.0 free of charge.
