Presentation and networking event

Overview

Following on from your Assessment 2, you have been asked to attend and present a pre-recorded persuasive video presentation at the upcoming Australian Conference of Economists (ACE)Links to an external site.. You will be required to prepare a suitable video presentation, create an event resource material piece targeted towards your audience and prepare a potential communication post promoting your involvement at the event.

The purpose of this assessment task is for you to get a better understanding of how the networking process occurs in practice in the business environment as well as a picture of the role that academic rigour and the scientific method, which you will learn at RMIT, are scrutinised professionally in these networking events. You will also learn how to translate technical work to non-technical audiences, helping your stakeholders to navigate problems in the real world - this is an incredibly important skill in rigorous, science-based disciplines, like economics.

This individual assessment task is the third part of your (3) three part assessment journey.
