Another in the series of recordings I have done for INETA Live.
This one is a bit special. It was a 1 day mini-conference designed to provide information to folks to improve there speaking skills. IMHO this is very important regardless of if you are presenting at a UG or demoing your work to coworkers, clients, or management. I would like to give a big thanks to Teresa Burger for putting the event together, to Woot (http://www.woot.com, go get your bag of crap NOW) for hosting the event, and to Improving Enterprises (http://improvingenterprises.com) for sponsoring lunch.
