…your entire presentation is about a topic that is sometimes abbreviated to a three-letter acronym…for the sake of argument, let us call it XYZ; in the conference program, the topic audience is listed as “anyone”;  at the start of said presentaion you say “I want this to be a conversation, not death by PowerPoint”; then you use a laser pointer to punctuate your comments on a 25-slide PowerPoint presentation; and after said presentation, the audience stares at you in solemn silence until one lone question emerges from the audience:

“What does XYZ stand for?”

You sir, have wasted everybody’s time, including your own.

Taking a break from politics and parenting for a couple days to attend to matters professional. I kick it old school like that sometimes.
