Founder and creative director at Synapsis Creative, Tom Howell has spent over a decade reshaping the way people use and view PowerPoint – using this underappreciated software to produce content for all platforms and audiences. By delivering gorgeously designed products as editable PowerPoint documents, his clients can edit and reuse these assets for a variety of formats and audiences. Tom regularly speaks at conferences and businesses globally, highlighting PowerPoint’s intuitiveness and versatility beyond presentation design.
Marcella Cheng never knew what was possible in PowerPoint until she worked at Synapsis Creative, and is now an enthusiastic advocate of quite possibly the most versatile and powerful design programs she’s ever used. She loves working on presentations and interactive projects the most and is a sucker for good stories and great visuals.
In this interview, Tom Howell and Marcella Cheng talk about Someone’s Sabotaged Santa’s Sleigh 2, the game created and played entirely using PowerPoint.

Many businesses depend on their technical experts. However, problems can arise when these experts have to give presentations or communicate with people without their technical background.
This communication issue arises at internal meetings with colleagues and also externally at client meetings if, for example, they are speaking at conferences with audiences who are not industry insiders.
With the increase in video conferencing and remote working, it has become even more important to ensure your technical content is delivered in an engaging and concise manner.
If technical experts can learn to communicate well with a wide range of audiences, it can enhance their careers considerably.

Let me share some tips to help you deliver complex technical information in a way that your audiences will be able to understand and remember.

Mike Power owns and runs Neuxpower, the company behind the popular compression software NXPowerLite, WeCompress, and now Slidewise, a PowerPoint font and media add-in. He has been running Neuxpower for more than 20 years, which makes him feel a tiny bit old. Although he generally has a company to run, he loves nothing more than getting stuck into designing software. He’s particularly fussy (some might say meticulous) about ensuring that Neuxpower retains a focus on simple, unfussy software that just gets the job done.
In this conversation, Mike talks about the new NXPowerLite Desktop 9.
