Mastering Virtual Presentations

Virtual presentations share common features with face-to-face events and at the same time they are very different from each other at certain points. What both forms have in common is that scientists reveal a part of their research in a given time window, supported by slides, which is then discussed. The big difference in virtual events is the spatial separation between the presenter and the audience. Speakers as well as each individual member of the audience sit alone in a room. In the case of international virtual conferences, they are not only in different locations, but often also in different time zones.
