Why do people continue to speak for free at meeting industry conferences? Since they do, why would the organizers change their practice?

You don't have to do Q&A at the end
You can do it earlier leaving you 5mins to wrap up. This lets you control the last thing they see and hear, rather than teh quesions.
What do you want to leave them with?
Generally speaking*, avoid standing behind things.
Desks, computers, lecterns, we want to connect with audiences and having a literal barrier between you and them hampers that connection.
*There are exeptions to every 'rule'
STOP PUTTING STUFF ON A SLIDE AND THEN NOT TALKING ABOUT IT!!!
If its not important then why is it there?
If it is important then why don’t you mention it!
How long does it take you to understand new graph of figure when you read it in a paper?

Need to go away, have a cuppa, and come back to it?
Imagine traveling back in time, giving a drawing like this to your younger self and saying "This is what you'll be drawing in 10 years. Also the words "among us" will be completely unusable in the future" before vanishing forever.

Right, let me talk about slide templates.
Most universities have an official slide template everyone is told to use.
More often than not these are rubbish.
Focusing on splashing the university logo around so much there is no space for actual content.

Another pic I worked on months ago and only just recently got around to finishing. =w= Just fem!Llox being a horny fuck :p Cookie mode this time!
I’m going to call it out… just stop putting lots of text one your slides. You know its bad, I know its bad, everyone knows its bad… so can we just not?
Alright scumbags. Guess who thought of a legit use for LLM / gen AI / regurgitative AI / whichever, in specific cases?
Mandatory condition: middle managers and C Suite or SMT dumbasses use the garbage multiplier on their own.
They need to learn how shit they are at communicating when the stolen vomit static mash-up program can't give them precisely what they want.
yes backfires possible and likely.
But jfc, if it means people who know "creative" just means "someone who tries something" get a tiny possible break from the hierarchical bullshit, that's a positive.

Coming soon… Streamiverse.
A curated streaming fediverse post API compatible with the Mastodon API for use in teaching, demos, presenting, etc. Basically, if you were using the Mastodon public timeline API for these use cases before it started to require authentication, this will be a good alternative :)
If you have suggestions for the curated feed, reply to this with links to posts.

Good explainer on the wireless projection capabilities of Windows 11, if you are so inclined.
Windows Central · It blew my mind when I learned you can set up a laptop as a second monitor on Windows 11Yes, you can use your laptop's screen as another monitor, and in this guide, I will show you the steps on Windows 11.
When live coding on a Mac, don’t just mirror your screen as no one will be able to see what you’re doing. Use, e.g., SwitchResX to mirror your screen at a larger retina resolution (1280×720 works if presenting on a 1920×1080 projector).
That way, you shouldn’t have to alter the text size in your terminal, browser, etc., and the audience will still be able to read your screen. Also goes for live streams, etc.
Wow, I only just realised (using Laura’s five-year-old hand-me-down MacBook Pro) that when you use Keynote on a MBP that has a touch bar, you basically get your presenter display on it. That’s amazing. Especially given you don’t always have the luxury of one at smaller events and/or if you’re live coding but also have slides.
Damn… wish they hadn’t discontinued those now :)
