Storytelling is an important way for business leaders to engage audiences and appeal to people's need for logic and structure, in addition to emotion and inspiration. Presentation designer and communications coach Garr Reynolds, author of the best-selling book "Presentation Zen," shares his experience in a provocative mix of illumination, inspiration, education, and guidance that will change the way you think about making presentations, with or without multimedia. In this interactive presentation, participants will learn how to create a compelling story to make their presentation more memorable. Stories may contain analogies or metaphors, powerful tools for bringing people in and helping them understand your thoughts clearly and concretely. The best presenters illustrate their points with stories, often personal ones. The easiest way to explain complicated ideas is through examples or by sharing a story that underscores the point. If you want your audience to remember your content ― and to take an action on that content ― the key is finding a way to make it more relevant and memorable by strengthening your core message with elements of story structure and story design.

Participants will learn practical principles and techniques from the interdisciplinary world of storytelling, and receive tips and insights for making their own presentations more effective by incorporating concepts from the art and science of storytelling.

Once upon a time, technology flowed only from West to East, presenting fabulous opportunities for Western tech companies which exported unique Western innovations to Asian economies. For half a century, Asian companies have had a reputation as imitators rather than innovators, but this long trend is ending. Nearly half of the world’s Internet users and over 60% of the planet’s population now live in a steadily modernizing Asia, which is home to several of the world’s biggest companies. All over the region, from small businesses to large corporations, innovation and entrepreneurship are on the rise and some of the most successful technology companies now come from the region because of technology. The resulting impact on the global technology start-up ecosystem will create new opportunities for both companies in the East and the West.
