Title: “Presentation Skills”
Presenter: George S. Nezlek, Independent Systems Consultant, Michigan, USA

Abstract: Authors typically devote much more time and effort to the papers they write as compared to preparing and rehearsing the presentation of those papers after they are accepted.  This workshop will offer suggestions for authors seeking to get more results for the time and effort they put into their writing by helping them get the most from their presentations.  The workshop is geared toward student authors and first time attendees, but anyone interested in analyzing and improving their presentation skills is welcome.  Student presenters are encouraged to use the workshop to fine tune their materials for presentation at the conference.
