I love storytelling and being engaged in such emotional ways. My objective is discrediting those who take advantage of the availability of our listening to pitch, or promote things we do not really care about.

Really, I just want to run through my experience, successes and failures fairly quickly, and move onto conversing with the other people in the room about what they really want to know/talk about. Although it does depend somewhat on the purpose of the event. MeasurementCamp, for example, had some gentle steering of the sessions, in order to lead to a definite outcome - which is definitely needed for that type of event.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('294','Dan Thornton'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('294','Dan Thornton','Totally agree, and why I sometimes struggle to create presentations.\r\nReally, I just want to run through my experience, successes and failures fairly quickly, and move onto conversing with the other people in the room about what they really want to know\/talk about.\r\n\r\nAlthough it does depend somewhat on the purpose of the event.

See petcha kuthca format about slide session (20-30 slide, max 20 second per slide).
