I'm off to Singapore tomorrow to present at an industry forum with a colleague.

There'll be around 100-120 people attending and I get to speak in front of them all. As you would expect, I'll be taking a powerpoint presentation with me, but I'm leaving those sleep inducing bullet points and eye cluttering corporate branded master slides way behind.

It's time to take my "enlightened" presentation style on the road and see how it goes. It should be fun.

One thing I'm glad of, the presentations I've done internally and the tips I've picked up from PresentationZen and other similar web sites have really helped me improve my presenting skills. Doing this thing in Singapore should be a lot easier as a result and I know I should be able keep the audience interested for the duration of the talk. I'm fairly confident I've targeted the audience and made the presentation about them, not about me.

I'll let you know how it went and pass on anything else I learned when I get back.
