PowerPoint and Presenting Stuff

PowerPoint and Presenting News: June 16, 2020

We all realize that nothing is really free in today’s world, yet we all look for free stuff all the time. Well, maybe we were partially wrong when we said “nothing is free,” because you can get a free or at least a cheaper copy of PowerPoint and Microsoft Office. We next feature Jullietta Stoencheva, VP of Customer Success at Pickit, a stock photo house with a difference, where she talks about the new Pickit Documents feature that lets you provide templates and documents to your business employees within Microsoft Office.

We also feature four speakers from the upcoming Presentation Summit 2020 virtual conference: John Rahmlow, Bethany Auck, Julie Terberg, and Echo Swinford. Also, make sure you do not miss the quotes, press releases, and templates featured in the last week.

Stay informed about updated tutorials and happenings related to PowerPoint and presenting.
