Giving a good presentation is key to success as a technical professional.

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society and the IEEE Professional Communication Society are partnering this year to bring communication content to members of both societies.  In case you missed it, the webinar entitled “The Power of Presentations” was presented on Wednesday, April 3.  It attracted a broad and diverse audience, with members of both societies participating during the hour-long session.  As the webinar content expert, I was very happy to hear from so many people, with questions ranging from the right way to display technical data to comments on pet peeves in bad presentations (not speaking clearly, assuming that the audience understands the context of the technical problem, to name just two).  A recording of the webinar is available for free to members of the societies.  If you wish to access the webinar but are not a member of PCS, this is a great time to become a member, since you can enjoy a half-year membership discount rate!

The second webinar in the series will be live on May 30.  The topic for that webinar is effective email practices, so you will want to be sure to tune in!  And if you have ideas and suggestions for future webinar topics, please send them along so PCS can provide communication content that fits your needs.
