Workshop: PowerPoint® Design Lab

Facilitated by Melanie Rae

Are you a trainer who has to quickly adapt your presentations based on the event? Do your presentations still follow the 6x6x6 rule? Attend this session to learn how to create presentations that use contemporary design techniques in order to impress and educate your audience.

During the first hour we cover introductory techniques to create, edit, and format a presentation. You will then independently develop a slide show from scratch. Afterwards, you will learn about design tips, animation, and multi-media to enhance the slide show you created. You can even bring any PowerPoint project that you are currently developing or start one from scratch.

This is a highly interactive class with hands-on tutorials.

Space is limited to 20 participants to ensure you receive individual attention.
