After feverishly rebuilding my demo (literally up to the last minute) and trimming slides (based on feedback), I finished my presentation in 50 minutes (of 90). Ahh! I guess I should have kept a few more slides. Also, I had to change the demo’s I showed to simpler scenarios because I couldn’t complete the rebuild with the MIIS services. And, common feedback was that I talked way too fast. This is the first year I used the speaker training and the worst evaluation scores I’ve ever received. On the plus side, I was able to have an extended Q&A session with some of the attendees.
