Last week I had the opportunity to present my Visual and Creative Thinking presentation for the gang up at Refresh BCS (that’s Bryan College Station for those not from Texas). It’s one of my favorite topics to talk about so I always have a blast when I do it. That raises a really good question – a question all presenters should ask themselves. “Did the audience have a blast too?” Lot’s of times when people get up to speak to an audience they see it only as an opportunity to talk about themselves, their company or their products. In my case, I always feel so much better about a presentation when I feel like the audience really took something memorable away from it. You can see the slides for the presentation on Slideshare. Enjoy!

P.S. It just so happens that John Moore (an awesome speaker in his own right) wrote a really good post about this topic called Eureka! It’s Performing, Not Presenting.

This week is the first week we have had to run a booth at two conferences simultaneously, so it has definitely been a whirlwind around here. Guliz Sicotte and Melissa Howse will be doing some live blogging and twittering when they aren’t manning (womening) the booth for Pop Labs. You can follow the Pop Labs Twitter stream or just check back here for live updates from the conference. Not expecting any “earth shattering” news from the Las Vegas International Restaurant Show where Gene, Audra and Silver are, but the stories should much more interesting.
