TRB Webinar: Practical Techniques for Successfully Communicating Technical Topics

TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, November 16, 2016, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm ET about presenting technical information clearly and succinctly when presentation time is short. If you are steeped in technical expertise and presenting in conferences or meetings, you can learn practical techniques that make your hard work meaningful to others.

  • Know what you want from the audience and what they want from you.
  • Simplify the content to make it clear and understandable.
  • Design effective visuals that highlight your content.
  • Learn ways to practice so that you arrive prepared to engage the audience.
Webinar Presenter: Shelley Row, P.E., Shelley Row Associates LLC

Moderated by: Elaine Ferrell, Transportation Research Board
