"How was the presentation?" "It was ... um, OK. Kind of interesting..."
Don't let the above be your talk! There's a lot more to doing a good talk than just knowing the code you're presenting. Join this tutorial to learn how to transform "um, OK" to "great!"

They wrote the code. It's an interesting project. They have plenty of slides. So why is the audience all doing their email? You've seen that speaker. Maybe you've been that speaker. But it doesn't have to be that way, and this tutorial can help. Presenting is a skill nobody is born with, but anyone can learn. The way to become a better presenter is through training, science, and practice. In this audience-participation tutorial, veteran conference presenter Josh Berkus will go over his tech talk advice in detail in order to help you improve your presentation skills, including:
If you have never attended a speaker training before, this tutorial will show you how much better your talks could be. And if you have attended one before, you might pick up a few tips and ideas.
Predicted by Gartner to add $1.9 trillion to the global economy by 2020, the Internet of Everything (IoE) is based on the idea that devices, systems and services will connect in simple, transparent ways, enabling seamless interactions among devices across brands and sectors. As this vision unfolds, it is clear that no single company can accomplish the level of interoperability required to support the horizontal aspects of the IoE.
The AllSeen Alliance, announced in December, 2013, was formed with the goal to advance IoE adoption and innovation in the connected home, healthcare, education, automotive and enterprise. Members of this nonprofit consortium include some of the world’s leading, consumer electronics manufacturers, home appliances manufacturers, service providers, retailers, enterprise technology companies, startups, and chipset manufacturers. Initially based on the AllJoyn™ open source project, the AllJoyn software and services framework will be expanded with contributions from member companies and the open source community.
In this keynote address, Alliance Chairman Liat Ben-Zur, will discuss how collaboration and open source software accelerates technology innovation and creates opportunities for a vibrant ecosystem and a thriving technical community. She will detail why the Linux Foundation was the natural choice to host the Alliance and how its members have united to address everyday, real-life scenarios in a united, pan-industry effort that will deliver new experiences to consumers and businesses to create a broad, dynamic IoE ecosystem.
Attendees will learn how the alliance is collaborating to remove hurdles to interoperable, proximal, peer networking. They will hear how, across many vertical segments, manufacturers, service providers and developers can enable interoperability and foster a dynamic horizontal ecosystem, helping to unlock the promise of IoE.
