As a presenter, I like using PowerPoint. Although I don’t like having the slides in a fixed sequence, and I worry that dimming the lights will give my audience unneeded assistance in falling asleep, I do like the way PowerPoint enables me to emphasize and illustrate my points with highlighted text, graphs, and photos. There’s something about those big, fat, color letters that makes the words more interesting.

Maps make excellent visuals and can add so much relevance to presentations that speak about anything to do with geography. You may want to show the location of company offices, franchisees or service centers.

Many professors use PowerPoint presentations as part of their lectures. As everybody knows, PowerPoint can be dull. If you add in a Tablet PC, it can be more interactive. You already have the PowerPoint up on a screen. But instead of static slides, you can write notes on top of the presentation.

Have you been invited to speak at a conference, and then discovered that the AV crew was not as capable as you may have expected them to be?
Well-known speaker Jim Endicott recently said:
This is always a moment of truth for me. If you were at one of the big conference centers, these types of requests may prompt a call to the convention support supervisor who calls the AV support manager who in turn dispatches the AV professional who then tells you that he doesn’t do power cords. There’s another union that handles that stuff, all before disappearing into the crowd 5-minutes before your set-up is complete. No such challenge here. Todd was a real pro.
