Digital People in Peterborough (DPiP) - October 2023

Happy Pumpkin-spice-latte month!

You'd be forgiven for thinking that a presentation on Powerpoint might be one to avoid but in Andy Bundock's case you couldn't be more wrong! Andy is a creative designer and expert at creating engaging and stunning Powerpoint presentations, and is here to set the record straight and help you raise your presentation game.

No one wants to sit through Death by PowerPoint – What if we said that you didn’t have to? PowerPoint doesn’t have to look like PowerPoint. I would like to share some of the skills I have picked up over years and help you raise your presentation game. Or, at the very least help you to hate it slightly less.

In this talk we will talk about how bullet points are killing your presentation – and how to stop it. We will talk about deck structure (it might not be how you think). How simple animation techniques can really help get your message across. We will discuss how an unsung hero might actually win you business. Plus some ridiculously simple tips and tricks that will save you time and effort.

Presentation design has come of age in recent years. You can’t go in to a room with a headline, small stock image and half a dozen bullet points and expect to win a pitch any more. Microsoft have quietly been going about their business and adding tools and functionality to PowerPoint over the last few years. The fact is, capabilities within the tools have risen and so have expectations.
