Will AI replace comedians? Don McMillan definitively answers that question in this year’s Tour that features Fresh Charts, Graphs, Venn Diagrams and Lots of Laughs!

Don McMillan isn’t your typical stand-up comic. A former Silicon Valley engineer turned viral sensation, Don blends his technical background with razor-sharp wit to deliver what’s been called “The Funniest PowerPoint Presentation You’ll Ever See!” Recently featured on America’s Got Talent, Don made it to the Top 12 and performed in the Finals, earning rave reviews from all the judges—including Simon Cowell.

Don’s comedy is smart, clean, and wildly relatable. His YouTube videos attract fans from all over the world. His signature video, “Life After Death by PowerPoint,” has been viewed by more than 50 million times and has made him a favorite among corporate audiences including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google. Don won the San Francisco International Comedy Competition and has also appeared on The Tonight Show, HBO, Comedy Central and was the First Dry Bar comedian to surpass 1 million Instagram followers, a milestone unmatched by many of his peers.

Assigning individuals to work in a group does not automatically create a well-functioning team. The “Teaming Up” module focuses on understanding the conditions necessary for groups to develop into effective teams and offers participants practical tools for encouraging team growth. This session also explores ways to make meetings more effective, including developing strong agendas and ensuring that three key leadership roles are filled (facilitator, note taker, timekeeper).

Please join us and the Michigan Iota chapter as facilitator Ben Pollatz (SEMIAC President) conducts the first of 3 Engineering Futures sessions in the Teamwork skill. The Michigan Iota will be hosting all 3 of the Teamwork skill Engineering Future modules this winter – this is a great way to achieve the CyberAmbassador certification!

An effective presentation engages the audience by offering information that meets their needs and goals, in formats that are accessible and understandable. The “Speaking Up” module explores different types of presentations and includes multiple opportunities for participants to practice public speaking and develop more effective communication skills in different contexts.
