As a presenter-trainer-host, what makes for a good experience for attendees to want to listen and learn something? We leave aside non-educational reasons for attending events and focus on what people want to learn and get out of training presentations. Being presentation designers and trainers we admittedly wander into the PowerPoint and stage craft of presenting - and it is a great conversation!

• Episode #183 - The Presentation Guild represents us, the presentation industry representation. The Guild's monthly email newsletter with its list of activities and opportunities for presentation designers inspired this episode. Troy, Sandy and Nolan are joined on this episode by 4 of the current Guild board members to talk about the Presentation Guild, its events, how they are announced, who can attend, what is planned, and more!

Episode 152 - One definition of accessibility is "…making information, activities, and/or environments sensible, meaningful, and usable for as many people as possible.". For us in the presentation world, accessibility is a consideration for slide design. And slide design can address accessibility categories of contrast, font size, captioning, screen reader setup, alt text, and much more. But the real question is, are there tools within PowerPoint to enable presentation designers to make a presentation accessible? This episode of The Presentation Podcast we are joined by Stephy Hogan a great conversation about presentation design with accessibility considerations.

The Presentation Podcast's focus on the business of presentation design is a great resource, that I found myself (Troy Chollar) using. This episode we revisit a conversation Sandy, Nolan and myself had back in 2017 were we discuss presentation project Deposits, Terms and Rates. Virtually every part of the conversation is relevant today, so much so that it is worth bringing back to the surface episode 28 and hopefully encouraging you to evaluate your project options and assuring things are advantageous for both sides of the project; the designer and recipient.

Episode 81 - Grids and Guidelines are two hidden PowerPoint features that few know of, or use. Most do not know they originate from traditional print design and are very powerful design tools for slide design. Even if you cannot immediately recognize them, chances are that virtually every professionally designed print layout is making use of a grid in some way. Gutters are a standard print design element, adapted as "Safe View Area" for video projects, and often overlooked and not addressed in presentation design. Join Nolan, Sandy and Troy, as they get a bit design geeky and talk about how these three traditional design tools can be leveraged in presentation design.

For print design, if a client says they need a letter size piece or a client in Europe says the project needs to be A1, we know exactly the dimensions of the project. With PowerPoint the page size is not always clear, or consistent. Part of the issues are aspect ratio does not equate to a physical dimension and another part is PowerPoint has updated page sizes or just has confusing options. Troy, Nolan, and Sandy talk in-depth about page size options for presentation projects.

Thanks for joining us!

PowerPoint was initially created to replace overhead transparencies and 35mm slides; that's why we still call each page a slide. But today, PowerPoint is also used as a layout and desktop publishing tool. A lot of people shudder at the thought of that or try to deny that they're doing it, but the fact is, PowerPoint can, and should, be used as a tool for creating documents and print-only presentations that will never be projected.
