CLIENT BACKGROUND<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

BeConnected day brings together the ICT community around Microsoft technologies, professional learning and the exchange of practical experience.

For its 14th edition, held in Pioltello, Italy, on 11 June 2026<\/strong>, MLC contributed an opening keynote connecting artificial intelligence, presentation design and the way people process information. The audience feedback included professionals in IT, consulting, sales and business leadership across a wide range of organisations.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>

CHALLENGE<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>

Make attention a design decision.<\/strong> Generating more slides does not guarantee that the audience will understand the message.

Connect AI with human communication.<\/strong> Give a technology-focused audience a practical perspective on what presenters still need to decide: what matters, where people should look and what they should remember.

Make the method visible on stage.<\/strong> Demonstrate the principles through the experience of the keynote itself, with clear visual examples and a compelling spoken narrative.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SOLUTION<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>

Maurizio delivered \u201cNeuro Presentation Design: designing attention when AI creates the slides\u201d<\/strong>.

The keynote connected the possibilities of AI with a deliberate approach to communication: guide the eye, reduce unnecessary cognitive effort and make the central idea easier to follow. Live examples, the slide sequence and the closing video made those principles part of the audience\u2019s experience.

Matteo Orsini managed the engagement as MLC\u2019s project manager.<\/strong> Maurizio La Cava led the keynote on stage.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u200bThe MLC Approach<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

Start from the people watching.<\/strong> Design for what the audience needs to understand, rather than everything a presenter could include.

Make attention visible.<\/strong> Use contrast, visual hierarchy and focus points to show how a slide directs the viewer\u2019s gaze. Participants specifically mentioned the analysis of attention and heatmaps in their feedback.

Connect explanation with experience.<\/strong> Let the delivery, visual examples and storytelling demonstrate the method as it is being explained.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\n
\"\"<\/div>

\u200bThe insight<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

When AI accelerates slide creation, the presenter\u2019s judgement becomes even more consequential. Choosing the message and directing attention remain central to whether an idea is understood.

The keynote gave that idea a concrete form: presentation design is a way to shape how people follow a message, from the first visual cue to the final takeaway.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u200bThe Process<\/h3><\/div><\/div>

MLC developed the keynote proposal around Neuro Presentation Design and aligned the session with the BeConnected team. The final title explicitly connected attention design with AI-generated slides.

On 11 June, Maurizio delivered the session live in Pioltello. After the event, MLC collected feedback and shared follow-up resources with participants.

The MLC Heatmap Generator<\/a> is a related resource for exploring the visual-attention questions raised during the keynote.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
