Description

All technical professionals want to tell their technical story of the work we have done.  We can effectively communicate the results of our work in two ways;

 Writing reports, notes for file, or conference papers and orally through making presentations at meetings and internal conferences

 Writing reports is by far the most important tool we have to record or work and to show our colleagues and management our technical capability.    Usually, written reports are followed by presenting a summary of the key messages.

Presentations of final reports and or work are made for 2 reasons; 1) for informational purposes or 2) for making decisions.  Presenting the results of reports in a brief, clear and logical fashion will enable the audience which is typically management to be able to make decisions. 

 The purpose of this workshop is to present tips on writing good presentation papers and making effective presentations for both SPE and your work.  The workshop is designed to be interactive.
