Visual Jam Meetup: Dan Roam - The Pop-Up Pitch: Persuasive Presentations
In this session, Dan Roam will introduce us to the Pop-Up Pitch, a simple ten-step visual story that will help you quickly captivate any audience.
Dan Roam has always believed that in an uncertain and complicated world, visual storytelling is magic. Sharing your idea with a few sketches and a simple story is clarifying, reassuring, and human. It is the best approach ever invented to convey your thinking to someone in a positive and persuasive way.
In this fast-paced, high-energy, and fun working session, Dan will share with you the Pop-Up Pitch, his brand-new story template that helps you combine your pictures and words into an emotionally-evocative presentation that your audiences will love.
Bring a pen, a sheet of paper, and a story you want to tell. Together, we will transform them into the best presentation of your life.
Giveaways:
1) All participants will receive access to free downloads of the Pop-Up Pitch presentation templates (PPT, PDF)
2) 3 winners will receive Dan’s actual Pop-Up Pitch pop-up booklet! (With complete details of how to use the templates to create your own visual story.
