 | The Ohio Osteopathic Association (OOA) recently Tweeted an “almost” #EventFail. |
Cheryl Markino, Director of Communications for the OOA shared the story from their September Board meeting in Columbus, Ohio. 30-40 people were in attendance for a 59 slide PowerPoint® presentation during which the wireless pointer for the LCD projector stopped working. Cheryl was close by and swapped out the pointer with a backup while the presenter continued his talk. “I always carry it [the backup] in my laptop bag (along with a few different adapters). I usually carry a couple of batteries too, but that day I didn’t have any. Now I do!”
Sometimes a presentation can be even better without the slide show, but as Cheryl shared, there are times when they are essential as well. “This speaker’s presentation included timelines and conceptual ideas to re-design/re-vision a system that’s been in place 15+ years, so the slides were necessary to the presentation.” Cheryl may need to start a new trend for #EventSave
