Such presentations often employ visual aids like PowerPoint slides, charts, graphs, and multimedia elements to enhance understanding and engagement.

It can also include informal discussions, demonstrations, or displays aimed at showcasing a product, demonstrating a process, sharing knowledge, or expressing creativity.
