Seminar Lineup
Morning
1. THE PAIN: Why does PowerPoint suffer from such a bad reputation? Why are people so annoyed by it? You might think it’s because the program is so difficult to use, but in fact, it’s just the opposite. Identifying the areas where we misuse the software and the technology is the first step toward a cure.
2. GLOBAL CONTROLS: Most content creators have passing familiarity with slide masters and use of templates, but not enough aptitude to take advantage of them as they should. That all changes in this hour.
3. SURVIVAL SKILLS FOR THE NON-DESIGNER: How can you design good work with ridiculous deadlines, last-minute changes, crazed bosses, and oh yes, no background in design? In this hour, we’ll show you...
LUNCH, provided for all patrons
Afternoon
4. ANIMATION THAT ILLUMINATES: When you think of animation, do you think of flying bullets and spiraling headlines? Most people do...sigh.

5. INTELLIGENT PRESENTATIONS: We blend three of the most under-utilized aspects of PowerPoint to introduce techniques that are so powerful, your head might explode. This hour is all about the art and the science of crafting more interactive and flexible presentations.
6. PRESENTING FOR DUMMIES: You do not have to be a natural to be a good public speaker and you don’t have to be a speaker at all to take these tips back home with you and help everyone in your organization who does speak before an audience.
