Tom Krieglstein shows why a dark PowerPoint screen is a problem: slides become hard to read, and people with darker skin tones can disappear against the background. He suggests dimming venue lights or adding a backdrop to the projector to fix it before 500 people arrive.
Hey, it's Tom here, setting up at Solvay. Regina, I just want to show you something really quickly. This is my speaker tip number 417. Let me turn the camera around. So that is my PowerPoint there. And two things. Notice that it's out of frame, so they're going to shrink it down. But also, look how dark it is. And not only is it going to be difficult to see any slide, but anyone with darker skin is just going to be totally disappeared in each slide, and that is not a good thing at all. So they're working on fixing that by dimming the lights, or they can put a backdrop over the projector. But in just a moment, there's going to be about 500 people filling up the stands here, and I'm going to rock it. But we got to fix those slides first. This is Tom helping you to engage your people.
