It will also give you the grounding necessary for providing documents and knowledge via the web, as some some clients are now starting to expect.

Why Telephone Presentations?

It allows us to have leading-edge overseas and other speakers who would not otherwise be able to participate. As the OS-based speakers have commitments which preclude travel to Australia, the telephone presentations with locally driven slide shows/screen shots/demonstrations followed by live questions offer a great alternative.
