Do you manage speakers and their slide deck presentations?
Has a speaker ever handed you/your AV team presentation slides before their session with cluttered content (incorrect font size, too many words on the page)?
Are you/your AV team consistently performing emergency “slide surgery” to fix presenters’ slide faux pas?
As event and meeting planners know, producing events is a fine art, especially when it comes to coordinating AV, speakers’ presentations, graphics, and more. 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.
Learning Outcomes
- Gain a detailed understanding of how to ensure all audience participants (either virtual or in-person) can read the presentation slides
- Determine production design guidelines to help your presenters create slides within a standardized format that are visually appealing to your audiences
- Gain a thorough understanding of best practices in working with speakers to prepare presentation decks for an event
