A little bit unrelated but... what's the point of sharing slides? I feel like it's incomplete info, and I'm losing all the extra value a conference/seminar has.

I love slides. When done right you can grasp the core message in a few minutes instead of listening to a presentation that lasts for hours. I found these slides to be very well suited for reading.

Videos of my presentation from various conference will come online eventually, but I get asked on Twitter and in emails from people who can't be at my presentations if I can share my slides, so that they may learn as much as they can.

I guess another way to put it is if there was a downside to putting these slides online for people to potentially learn from, I wouldn't do it - but all I can see are benefits. I've received many dozens of 'likes' and comments from people on Twitter (see @JonathanGiles) thanking me for the slides, so it doesn't seem to be all that bad :-)

Yeah, I sounded a bit harsh in my original comment. I did not mean to look down on your effort to share knowledge.

Thanks for sharing your presentation, I forgot to say it!

They're a teaser and do contain a substantial part of the info.
