Abstract: You’ve spent years at university honing your technical knowledge, but this alone is not enough to ensure success in your career. Communications skills are essential to achieving your goals. You need to be able express your ideas clearly so that everyone understands their value. This talk will describe the four steps of preparing to give a technical presentation and give you tips to make your presentation have the impact it deserves. The material is targeted towards preparing to give your first high visibility presentation, such as ISSCC, but the points can be adapted to a wide range of situations, from presenting your ideas to your department head, your thesis advisor, or at an internal conference.
