The speaker can make or break a presentation. The way they present themselves and the subject they are discussing has a big influence on how much the audience takes in and their reaction to the content. However, not everybody is a natural and there are plenty of tools on the market to make presenting to an audience much easier. From physical products such as desktop lecterns to handy software, Red17 are here to run through the best tools for presentations on the go.

Desktop Lecterns

Desktop lecterns are an ideal product for a speaker with a lot of notes. If your presentation is particularly long or detailed, you cannot be expected to remember everything off the top of your head. Desktop lecterns are the perfect product for keeping your notes organised whilst maintaining a smarty and professional appearance to your audience. Having a physical object that identifies you clearly as the speaker also helps you maintain presence and the audience will naturally be drawn to you as you speak. The desktop nature of this product also makes it portable, ideal for presentations on the go!

Prezi

Now more than ever people are accustomed to every aspect of their life being enhanced by digital media and presentations are no different. Visual aids are expected and in order to maintain your audience’s attention, you need to provide them with something mentally stimulating to keep their focus on the points you are trying to get across. Prezi is a presentation platform that allows the speaker to zoom in and out of particular aspects. This can include video and audio clips as well as text and images, creating a diverse and stimulating presentation for you to share.

3m Post It x Evernote

3m have teamed up with Evernote to make it easier to transfer physical notes into a digital format. The app can recognise all sizes of post-it notes making it quick and easy to project them on your screen. Whether you ask your audience for a simple one word contribution or a few sentences, there is a post-it size to suit your needs. This has made it easier than ever to get your audience involved with your presentations. Simply take a snapshot of their notes with a smartphone and instantly project them on the screen for the room to see.

Microsoft Surface 2 Pro

Older laptops can make your presentations slow and clunky. In the age of the tablet it is important to find a way to share your presentation in a much more efficient manner. The Microsoft Suface 2 Pro is a tablet which doubles as a laptop by attaching a slim keyboard. It allows you to share videos in HD, making for a high quality presentation and despite its small size, contains 4GB of RAM, meaning you don’t need to worry about running out of memory after a short amount of time.

Epson EX7220 Wireless WXGA 3LCD Projector

One of the biggest technical issues when it comes to presentations is your gadget not connecting to the dusty old projector provided at the location of your talk. This portable, wireless projector makes it quick and simple for you to display your content for the whole room to see. It weighs just 5pounds meaning it’s light and easy to transport to different locations and features a 3000 lumens bulb and HD resolution technology. It’s never been easier to start your presentation on time!
