We all appreciate the wonderful world of paperless. However, it is a bit of a challenge to know what one “walked away with” when it’s all verbal. Presenters can bring 15-25 copies of a one-page printed handout that identifies vital points. This is a great way to reference resources, including hyperlinks to other content and other tangible takeaways.

Presenters who email Dirk Tussing electronic copies (either before or after the event) of any slides or handouts can post the information as PDFs on Insights.

Absolutely not.
