Technical hiccups during a presentation don’t have to derail your momentum if you’ve got an innovative plan. First, make backup devices your allies—preload files on a secondary laptop or tablet. Elevate your resilience by embracing cloud storage; platforms like Google Drive or OneDrive let you retrieve presentations anywhere, anytime. Beyond backups, mastering the tech ecosystem is your secret weapon—practice connecting to projectors, switches, and screens like a pro. For an extra edge, create a fallback solution: a hard-copy summary or a quick narrative pitch can save the day while tech is sorted. Turning challenges into opportunities showcases adaptability!

I ussually present at congresses, so the technical issues are not really something I should be fixing. Instead, I focus on being able to continue my presentation even without the slides, focusing on main points I want to deliver to the audience. And once the slides are back up, I can move through them at faster pace reemphasizing my main points.

Years back before cloud age, I used to have 3 hardcopy back-ups for each presentation. Now I would strongly advise for cloud backup. More, a paper slide deck for the unlikely event the technology fails, or for places where introducing outside electronics is forbidden ( many companies don't allow external devices for security reasons). Is not fancy but is sure 100%.

There are a few things I think are important to avoid crumbling if your presentation has technical difficulties. 1) Have a mastery of your material so that you can continue without having to rely on slides or visuals. 2) Have a locally saved version and cloud based version of your presentation to give yourself flexibility and eliminate WiFi concerns. 3) Bring hard copies to distribute in an apocalypse scenario.
