Presentation Graphics in Action

Recently, I sent out an email to friends and coworkers. It was a request for feedback concerning the best and worst presentations that they have been in the audience for.
It is the main part of my current position, and in order to continue to grow in that field, I wanted to gather as many examples of "what works" and "what doesn't" as I could.
So, basically, I said what lectures, presentations, conferences, etc. particularly stick out in your mind? Why do you remember them? Were there any graphics? Is there a recorded version out there somewhere?

It is still early, but I have gotten some good feedback.
In response to one of those friends, I included examples of some of my recent work. I would love to get these videos more views than they currently have, so I thought I would post here as well.

General Ray Johns gave this presentation at a conference for the Airlifter/Tanker Association - the largest conference that his command, Air Mobility Command, is associated with. The audience was probably 1500-2000 people.

It is broken into parts due to YouTube's restrictions, but please check it out when you have time!


Note that Gen Johns does not use a teleprompter or even a confidence monitor.

If you have feedback or examples of presentations that you have found to be memorable or outstanding, please let me know!
