EIA Presentation Skills
8:30am - 10:30am
Andre Zwanenburg, The Asbestos Institute
The ability to effectively give a compelling presentation or training session, including visuals, does not come naturally or happen by accident. Too often, we unknowingly rely on the same poor practices for years without learning the skills to engage an audience and communicate our valuable knowledge effectively. The best technical information goes to waste in a weak presentation. This program is an excellent opportunity to hone your presentation skills from some of the industry's best trainers and most experienced presenters. Whether you are new to public speaking or have been presenting for years, this is a must-attend. We encourage ALL EIA presenters to participate, and welcome everyone, members, non-members, as part of your full conference registration.
