When the Clicker Dies and the Wi-Fi Lies: Handling Presentation Failures Like a Pro
We’ve all been there: the demo refuses to run, the slides freeze, or the Wi-Fi disappears just as you reach the key moment. Technical glitches can make even the most prepared speaker panic, but they don’t have to ruin your presentation.
In this talk, you’ll learn how to anticipate, navigate, and even benefit from tech failures during your presentation. Based on real-life stories from the stage, we’ll explore practical strategies for building backups, keeping your cool under pressure, and pivoting seamlessly when the unexpected happens.
By the end, you’ll walk away confident in the knowledge that the show can go on, even when the clicker dies and the Wi-Fi lies ;-)
