9 Ways To Bore The Audience at SES New York
Lisa Barone, Bruce Clay Blog | 4/6/07

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

Never look at any one individual in the eyes. Doing so may cause them to ask questions or engage with you. Your best course of action is to concentrate on your notes, scan the crowd as a whole, or stare at your PowerPoint presentation like you’ve never seen it and are amazed by its beauty, and frankly, your own awesomeness. It’s okay to look at the other speakers, but not for too long. You don’t want them to cut in on your presentation. This is about you.

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

1. What if that nice clean UI of Googles had to be designed for Google?

2. The Latest Google Flatline
