💡 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
