Last slide first

There were lots of great presentations at the SIIA On-Demand conference in San Jose this week and I'll be posting some thoughts about what I learned over the next few days.

One of the highlights was a presentation by NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson and his first (and last) slide.  He told a short story about this being the way to do a presentation from his early working days at Motorola.  The then Vice Chairman (missed the name) told him to skip all his foils (pre-Powerpoint, egad!) and put up the last one.

We have all gotten away from this with too much Powerpoint in our lives and I promise I will now start all my presentations with the last slide.
