110% Effort Means Nothing to Me by @PlanetPlanitBiz

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

I have heard 110% effort become one of those very common clichés that to me really means nothing.

This sounds harsh I know, after you saying that you will put in 110% effort. That has to seal the deal surely? Surely, you have convinced me to give you that job interview or that job? Well, no, not really, because just making the statement on your CV or cover letter is not enough.

You see, I am anticipating that if you want to work with me in my organisation then you will be bringing me huge amounts of effort anyway as you step on to your career path.

PreseriaEach week, we feature a new event technology in our community. This week, however, I wanted to take a step back and re-share some of the tools that are getting the most hits on the site. These companies are changing the game and are definitely worth you checking them out. The five tools listed here have been selected based on the number of page hits they received since January 1, 2012. The full list of tools that have been featured already can be found on our Event Technology Resource Page.

1. Preseria

Our tool makes it easier to handle presentations at medium and large conferences. The tool collects presentation files from the speakers before or during the event and plays them – no matter what format and with seamless switching between presentations.

Between the presentations a pause image is shown to the audience. This consists usually of the conference’s own graphical profile, which gives the event a professional look. After the conference, the tool automatically generates a publishing page for easy web publishing and sharing of the conference material. Here the participants can choose to download the presentations in PDF or view them directly in their web browser.
