Louis Schwartzberg: The Hidden Beauty of Pollenation
This presentation was a very interesting piece on pollinators (e.g. bees, bats, butterflies) and the delicate balance of the ecosystems and how they can be negatively effected by humans. There were very powerful pictures and videos of the various animals in action. I do think that the presentation lacked visual cues of statistical damage to go along with the presenters topic.
Amy Lockwood: Selling Condoms in the Congo
Very poignant presentation emphasizing the importance of knowing who your audience/customer is when trying to sell or give away a product. The presentation involved slides with statistical data on people, disease, and death rates in the Congo. She also had pictures of the variety of condoms that sold and were widely used and the ones that did not sell - and testimony from pharmacies, hotel owners and the general public on why certain brands were popular and others were not.
Dan Gilbert: The Psychology of your future self
Interesting topic on people and their perception of how they have changed and how they will change in 10 year increments. Used charts and diagrams to show the actual data and how it compares to what people think.
Ron Gutman: The hidden power of smiling
Of the 9 presentations I watched and 4 that I posted this presenter used his power point presentation along with his speech the most. He used a slide to punctuate every point he conveyed. Definitely an effective tool. The content of his speech was interesting by itself, however it was engaging with the use of his power point presentation.
