Embedded Systems Conference

1st of April will be exciting. Well, no, not for wrong reasons. I do not plan to spend my day fooling.

I am presenting at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) Silicon Valley on next generation networking. I'll talk about the key success factors for companies playing in the next-generation wireless market. The presentation describes a development strategy that leverages a common real-time device platform and enables companies to focus on the customizations that make the difference to their 4G customers. It is ideally suited for new deployments of long-term evolution (LTE) and WiMAX infrastructures, as well as other broadband access devices.

My session is from 2:00pm — 3:15pm. Check out the catalog here.

How best to deliver presentations?

This has been one heck of a dilemma for any one who wants to present in front of an audience. I was actually working with a colleague today to figure out techniques to capture the attention. Garr Reynolds stands out as a subject matter expert as well as for his book "The Presentation Zen". He talks about some of his best practices in this video.

Nancy Duarte talks about the reasons why average presentations suck and the things that can be done to improve. Check out her insights and a sample suggested design for presentations.

Amongst others, Steve Jobs stands out as a maverick amongst presenters. Some of the skills that can be learned from him are available at internet. There's one article that I referred today and found it useful.

A presentation from Jobs depicts how he maneuvers across the stage; the slides behind him synchronize with what he explains to the audience. This is what comes with practicing what you need to deliver.
