I think all the presenters are to be congratulated on putting themselves forward to present about presenting. When we did a poll on what topics people wanted to see as future Webubar events, the topic of New Approaches to Presenting Data won by a large margin. But we had fewer people willing to speak on this issue than on any other. I suspect that one of the reasons that people were so keen for NewMR to hold this session was that many people know they need to change but they are unsure how to achieve it.
If you have not registered yet it is still not too late and you can register from the NewMR website.
