Description: PresentationCamp LA is a grassroots, self-organized event where participants meet on a Saturday morning, decide what they would like to learn, and who would like to teach, then they collaboratively set up the agenda and have a full day of learning. Participants pay a nominal fee of $10 or so to cover expenses, but otherwise everyone participates as a volunteer.
PresentationCamp LA will focus on helping you become a better thinker, storyboarder, visualizer and presenter. Drawing from the world-class talent in the Los Angeles media industry, we're aiming to bring in a mix of people who will teach, inspire, and share our presentation skills with one another. What can you learn about creating your live presentations from a professional storyboard artist, or an accomplished cinematographer? Join us and find out!
