I have to admit I was a little nervous about meeting all of the CTSM educational requirements and regulations. I needed to deliver solid and useful information while maintaining a professional distance from my subject matter so that I wouldn't sound like I was trying to "advertise" my business of tradeshow magic...

My topic was titled: "Aisle-View: The Low Cost, Live Presentation Option". I knew I could speak with authority on the subject (Funny, I invented, and published the term "Aisle-View" presentations way back in 1999), None the less, I'm human and I was just a tad bit worried about my faculty evaluation score.

The great news is that my over-all score was an incredibly high 4.83 out of 5 (the conference average for other speakers was only 4.38)!

And my student quotes were enough to make even a boiled lobster blush:

“Again, one of my favorite electives!”

“Scott is an excellent speaker and knows his subject well. I really thought that this course may be an advertisement, but to my surprise, he presented a very balanced view of do it yourself and hire a professional.”

“Very useful information that I can apply in our trade shows. Enjoyed the presentation skills of this speaker, his examples and PPT. Very good.”

“Excellent presentation. The speaker was on target, and on message. This was by far one of the best presentations I attended: well organized, clearly presented, on message.”

Now, if you missed my class this Spring in Las Vegas, and you still want to hear more about "Aisle-View" presentations, I have awesome news! I will be speaking on this topic again in the Fall in San Francisco at the Exhibitor FastTrak!

September 29th, 2010 at 9:00 AM at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport.

BTW, if you are planning on coming to the conferance, please drop me a line! I'd love to have a coffee or lunch with my friends!
