Event Details:

[Back by popular demand. This presentation got great reviews at last September’s ESIG luncheon. Katie’s added new material to address working w/ graphics firms and within a corporate environment.]

In a business world where PowerPoint is the norm in nap-inducing meetings and many professionals have long since packed away their crayon boxes, the ability to communicate visually is more important than ever. Think all presentation slides are worthless and boring? Tired of being forced to make decisions based on verbose and confusing PowerPoint slides? This presentation is for you – re-capture your creativity and learn how to find the right way to say what you want to say – often without using a single word at all.

Join Katie Laird, a graphics-obsessed communications geek from Schipul – The Web Marketing Company (www.schipul.com), as she walks us through the do’s and don’ts of communicating visually. This presentation will be perfect for flexing your creative muscles and maintaining your sanity, whether you’re a frequent public speaker, a professional charged with creating the dreaded slide deck for company meetings or just someone who wants to be understood the first time around. Learn, also, how to work with a team – to ensure consistent messaging and that everyone on the team speaks with ONE voice. Plus tips for successful collaborations with design professionals.
