Create memorable presentations that sing your message

A good PowerPoint is like a screenplay. You have very limited time to tell a story, but this doesn’t mean you should put more words on your slides!

This is not a technical guide to using PowerPoint (You can get that on YouTube!), but rather a guide to information design.

Our half-day course will help you create engaging, informative PowerPoint presentations that your audience will remember and trust.
