Austin MPUG Tonights Presentation

• Kevin Gibson is a product, training, and
  communications specialist with KIDASA Software,
  Inc. His expertise is derived from more that
  three years of daily dealings with end-users who
  need to present their projects in a view-friendly
  fashion. He came to KIDASA after five years of
  successfully presenting hard-to-swallow grammar
  and literature to less-than-eager audiences of
  high school students and adults.

• In Successfully Presenting Your Projects, you
  will learn easy and innovative methods of
  generating presentation-ready project reports
  from your MS Project plans. In addition, learn
  how to share those reports across various
  mediums, including web pages, PowerPoint, and
  more. If your project information is contained in
  MS Project, and you need tips on presenting that
  data at a top level, then this presentation will
  be worth your while.
