I'm presenting at Communication Matters this year. It's on from 8th-10th September in Leeds.

We have 40 minutes to present in, but we've got a lot of content and it would be great to leave a lot for Q&A. We've got five main areas to hit, and we should prioritise those for usefulness (the fraud stuff is good and dramatic, but)

Resources

People who should definately see the presentation before delivery:

Kate, Clare, Simon

People who it would be good to get the take from:

Brian, Trustees, Kat.

Todo:

[ ] Brainstorm the main concepts of the talk and check in Kate and so on.
[x] Think about how lightweight you'd like this to be - it would be great if all the slides were online in a non-powerpointy way, along with the talk itself.
- [x] Try these markdown generators
[ ] Advertise the talk.
- [ ] Social Media
  - [ ] Twitter is a start
  - [ ] You need to put it on facebook as well.
- [ ] In person
- [ ] By email - there's a bunch of AAC people to reconnect with there.
[ ] Get all the dates and the timelines together for the Comic Relief funding
[ ] Get contractor email and solicitors letter
[ ] Write out slides and reherseh
[x] Find out if you can stream the presentation.
[ ] Make sure all the tech works.
[ ] See if I know anyone in Leeds generally
[x] Check if the BJJ competition clashes...
[ ] Check how long the presentation is.

The presentation itself.

What's the general idea: to talk about the Comic Relief Project
- Which bits of that will the audience find interesting?
  - Medical Device (because some will be in the same buisness)
    - Why it's a medical device
  - That you have to pay for the documents
  - what I ended up doing. (need disclaimer at the top of the page)
  - Fraud (because everyone likes a horror story)
    - Do it direct from the summary you wrote
    - Put the certificate online
    - Checkovs gun - put this up front soon.
  - Contacting important AAC people, who was great, who didn't reply.
    - Big gratitude slide.
  - How did we get the money? (Photos of process, and a link to the video)
  - What we built!
Other bits that are needed:
- Introduction

Structure

Title Slide
Introduction - how you can follow along. (hey, you know what would be cool? Auto tweeting the slides on a timer...)
- where the slides are/transcript/live
- Interupting is very cool
- Jazz hands?
- Ask for video for live
What are we going to talk about (overall) and 'the bits of that we think are interesting to you' (fancy slide)
How we got given £45,000
- Why we're talking about this?
- funder homepage
- 'old' device (maybe several)
- Video and short description
- Tech person in interview
- Promised that medical device work would be done soon.
- shortlist meant it was 50-50.
