TechComm Ninjas! IDL SIG Members Represent With Laughs at 2017 Spectrum Conference

On March 27, 2017, IDL SIG members Ben Woelk and Chuck Campbell presented a couple of hilarious ninja talks at Spectrum, the STC Rochester Chapter’s annual regional conference.

A Ninja Talk is a lightning talk presentation delivered by a speaker who has never seen the slides. Ben Woelk prepared slides for Chuck Campbell, while Chuck prepared slides for Ben. The slides use PowerPoint automation to advance every 15 seconds, giving the presenter a few seconds to see the slide, then come up with something clever to say on the fly.

You can download Chuck’s slides here and check out how he did the clever animation: TechComm_Ninja

Also presenting at Spectrum was IDL member Liz Fraley , who gave a workshop about “How to Attract Opportunities to You” and a presentation about “The Art of Personal Branding: How to Tell the ‘You’ Story and Gain New Customers“.

Photos of the conference are posted on Flickr and the complete schedule is posted on Sched.
