Yes, I will be presenting for the first time!

The wait is over. Sitecore Symposium 2020 is here. This year we will have the first all-digital Sitecore Symposium. Are you excited?

Well, I am very excited indeed for two main reasons. Firstly, I am lucky that I will be presenting for the first time in a Sitecore Symposium. More about my session in a second. Secondly, I am very excited at the content and sessions that the Symposium team have put together this year.

How I prepared for my session

As I promised earlier, I will walk you through how I prepared for my session.

I had two review sessions with Sitecore technical teams to help review my session content and tailor it for my audience. I found these sessions useful and it helped me reduce the number of my slides in my presentation as well as amplify the right message.

All on-demand sessions should be 20 minutes long. To this end, I had to practise and rehearse my presentation using the Presenter Coach tool from Microsoft. This is a great tool to hone your presentation pace and provides great feedback such as shown in the screenshot below. I will highly encourage you give this ago

The actual session recording was done using the Microsoft PowerPoint recording tool. I found this tool very versatile as I could record each slide at time, watch it back and re-do it without having to start the entire recording all-over again. Below is the screenshot on how to access this tool:

My session also include a demo, which I recorded using an open-source the Screen Recording tool OBS Studio. I have used various screen recording tools before, but I prefer OBS due to versatility it has in terms of actual recording experience and editing afterwards.
