Presentation at Alverno College 1/31/09

Last week I had the great opportunity to speak at Alverno College on the power of embracing the web to professionally network. It’s something that I love doing and something that I’ve really focused on as you know. Using social networks, especially twitter and my blog to meet people in person has been a blast and extremely valuable to me. I was very excited to get the chance to share those experiences with a great group of people at Alverno.

The night I presented there were some technical difficulties and I was unable to get my Mac to project. Luckily I had already uploaded the deck to slideshare.net and was able to use another laptop with a web connection to present. Went perfectly with my talk. Thank you slideshare!

Here is the deck from that night.

Growing a network, gaining credibility, and using the web to do it

Cool presentation Ryan. Good fallback with Slideshare. I'm going to have to remember that. Here's an idea that will make some lucky entrepreneur millions. Come up with software/hardware that will always allow a projector to work with your mac/pc during presentations. It's been a plague since the beginning of time, yet nobody's solved it outside of setting up 45 min before their presentation.
