Format

Most good presentations include the 4 concepts below in the introduction:

1. Know your audience
   • The presentation/deck should be tailored to the intended audience. What are the different prospects we are aiming for?
     1. Developers/Consultants
     2. Companies/Organizations/Agencies
     3. Power Users/Admins
2. Capture audiences attention
   • Some statistics about how used the MediaWiki software is? I thought that was the data we got from Mark/Violet, but it looks like that might be more for sponsorship leads?
3. Establish expertise
   • Who are we
4. Reveal topics
   • We want you to be a sponsor, here's how the goals of MWStake align with your needs
