Did you miss eComm 2008? You can now see the presentations…

ecomm2008.jpgDid you miss out on attending eComm 2008 last month? Well now you can at least view the presentations. Shortly after I wrote about our own use of SlideShare I was pleased to get a note from eComm organizer Lee Dryburgh indicating that almost all of the eComm 2008 presentations are now available (also on SlideShare). You can view all the different presentations and download them as well.

Lee also said that he’s working on getting the audio recordings of the presentations up online as podcasts, too, which is good because the audio is really required to understand many of the slide decks.

On that note, as a frequent presenter, I am delighted to see that so many of these eComm 2008 presentations (including RJ’s that I posted earlier) have done away with mindless bullet points and dense slides of text and instead used the slides as a way of complementing the spoken presentation (rather than replacing the spoken presentation as people read the slides). It looks like there were some great presentations there.

While this presentation approach is great in my opinion for attendees, the challenge with this approach is that without the audio the slides don’t mean as much. For instance, here’s this deck which looks quite interesting:

That’s one I’ll probably go get the audio for once Lee gets it up online. This one from longtime VoIP blogger Martin Geddes (also here) also looks quite intriguing:

Many more presentations (58 currently) await your browsing in the eComm 2008 presentation area - which one is your favorite?
