My rules for presenting at Ignite

I've only presented at Ignite once but here are my rules:

1 concept per slide - no bullet points!

Use images or better yet hand drawn sketches

Rehearse twice... once to learn where to adjust, once more to make sure you can do it... no more, otherwise you'll become inflexible

Don't stop talking! The slide transition is simply a reminder to shift what you're talking about. If you try to match the transitions perfectly, you'll become inflexible.

Hold the mike up to your mouth and keep it there!
