Tips for presenting without Powerpoint screen

T

Hi all

Does anyone have any tips for presenting to a small group without slides on screen but with slides printed and handed out? Has anyone here done this before? Did you stand up/sit down, etc?

Cheers

I don't know why you'd want to do that? If the audience have a handout they will be looking down at that and not at you while you are talking.

I've been told no computer is available in the room and asked to forward the slides so that the host can print them and hand them out!

Depends how small the group is - if it's 10 or fewer I would probably sit round in a circle. If it's 30+ then I would probably stand at the front and talk, but it would be quite awkward!

Thanks. Guess I will just see how it goes. Funny - online there is heaps of advice for powerpoint presentations but can't seem to find any for a good old fashioned talk with handouts. Think it is a different dynamic altogether though really. No visual effects etc.
