Often\, the first time the public learns about a scient ific work is when the author presents at a conference or for broadcast med ia\, and speakers who can use such a platform to clarify their contributio ns and provide broader context for their work are rewarded with stronger a ttention\, possibilities for increased funding\, and opportunities for col laboration. It is the ultimate compliment to your speaking skills when a p revious audience member hears of a development in your field\, and immedia tely connects it to you and your work. Memorable public speakers make this happen through extensive practice and preparation and\, sometimes\, by no ticing the subtle clues that suggest their audience understands them (or t hat suggest otherwise) and responding appropriately to those cues.\n\nFar from an innate ability\, the skills and rhetorical techniques used by good public speakers can be taught and learned. This presentation’s scope is not limited to Three-Minute Thesis talks\, but rather\, will suggest tool s and strategies you can use to deliver clear\, engaging talks on any subj ect\, to any audience\, and of any length. Drawing on the training program that competitors in the International Microwave Symposium’s 3MT Competi tion use to polish their own talks\, this session touches upon story\, per suasion\, bias\, trust\, metaphor\, ethics\, composition\, and other consi derations necessary for connecting with any audience and making them want to hear more (not less!).\n\nTwo talks and one open discussion followed by a networking event are scheduled :\n\n- 16H30 : "Pushing the Boundaries of Computational Electromagnetics: Application to Antenna Designs\, Placem ent\, Co-site Interference Simulations and Digital Twins" Presented by Dr. C.
