Why Your Presentation Matters
A strong ArcGIS capstone presentation should:
Showcase technical skills (without overwhelming)
Tell a spatial story (problem → analysis → solution)
Engage non-technical audiences (planners, professors)
Fit strict time limits (typically 10-15 minutes)
Our presentation help covers:
- Slide structure optimization
- Animated map sequences
- Mock defense sessions
