After the venue, audiovisual is often one of the largest budget items. Yet, planners and their AV teams often fail to deliver eye-popping visual-aids created by paid or volunteer speakers.

This course will empower you to retake control of the presentation design process and ensure your speaker slide decks match your technical requirements to create visually appealing sessions.
