Hand out your hand-outs after your presentation, except for these situations:
- Highly technical review - audience will need to have handouts to understand the technical points being discussed
- Material to be completed during the session - handout is a worksheet for audience to complete or a place for them to take notes about the presentation
- Activity - handouts describe an activity you want the audience to do and you want them to be able to read it over before doing the activity
