Killing PowerPoint is an interactive workshop that will transform your presentations and revolutionize the way you approach visual storytelling and data visualization. Remove PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides from your toolkit once and for all, and start building compelling webpage presentations.
The bulk of the event will be for hands-on designing. Each participant will get help with their presentation within their specific context.

Death to Slide Decks: Why your next presentation needs to be a webpage
Description:
Slide decks, slideshows, and PowerPoints are tied to a time when content was static and contained in finite pages. We navigated through content by moving from slide to slide, page to page. We had to turn the page or hit ‘next. But now we have websites and digital media. So not only has content evolved drastically, but so has the way that we can interact with this content on a screen. Webpage presentations fit in with today’s visual culture. Today we can present content in a way that matches how we naturally view and experience the world.
This presentation has three parts: when, why, and how. We’ll look at the history of visual storytelling to understand why it’s time for a change. Then, I’ll discuss how to build webpage presentations using page builders, WordPress and other tools.
