Geetesh: Camille, at this year’s Presentation Summit, you’re delivering the Artificial Makeovers session, exploring if AI can make you a better presentation designer. Can you share more about this session and the key takeaways for the audience?
Camille: Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm and has shaken many in our industry. I believe that it’s a tool that can and should be harnessed to make us better at our jobs. And at the very least, we should be familiar enough with it to be comfortable using it.
In the “Artificial Makeovers” session at this year’s Presentation Summit, we’ll dive into the power of AI in the realm of presentation design. The session will explore how AI tools can enhance creativity, streamline the design process, and ultimately make you a better presentation designer.
We’ll look at some before and after examples and see how we can use AI to help get us unstuck with design ideas, as well as make suggestions for improving the messaging and flow of presentation.
Geetesh: You’ve attended several seasons of the Presentation Summit, but this might be the last one. What are your thoughts? And what has the Summit meant to you?
Camille: I’ve attended the Presentation Summit for 10 years now, and it’s been such a wonderful experience. I’ve loved getting to know all the members of this community and watching the conference evolve along with the industry at large.
Finding the Summit felt like finding your chosen family, both in a professional sense and also personally. We all get each other and that’s pretty special.
It’s hard to imagine that there won’t be another Summit, but I know that the people involved will always keep in touch and will find other ways to connect, share ideas and resources, and grow together.
Geetesh: You often create video tutorials for LinkedIn Learning and your YouTube channel. Can you tell us more about these learning opportunities?
Camille: I love creating videos and courses because it allows me to reach the most.
