Almost 500 people participated in this year’s “Annoying PowerPoint Presentation Survey.” Dave Paradi of Think-Outside-The-Slide has been sending out this survey for several years. The primary theme and message from the 2017 survey: “Audiences feel that too many presenters don’t care enough about their audience to spend the time necessary to create and deliver a good presentation.” Take a look at a quick summary of the results below.
Thank you for the amazing effort and sharing the results every year, Dave! The full survey results are available here.

The Presentation Guild’s 2nd Annual Presentation Industry Salary Survey is open – add your info!
This is a great tool for the Presentation Industry, and it will only get better and more important with each year. Plus, everyone that completes the survey receives a copy free (free to all Presentation Guild members – and I highly recommend everyone with a presentation related job be a member).
Info about the 2017 survey on The Presentation Guild site here.
Go directly to the survey here. Hurry, survey closes Monday, October 23!”

Lori and I (Troy) attended the 2017 Presentation Summit, hosted in Florida last week. Yes, we attended, no presenting this year, which was a fantastic treat as I was able to spend all of my time talking with so many great people (vs. planning, rehearsing, and being committed to presenting).
Next year will be close to the TLC Creative Services studio in San Diego, CA September 23-26, 2017. I highly recommend the conference for the great session topics, but almost more important is the networking with presentation industry talent, host of presentation industry vendors, AND direct access to the team of PMs and Devs from the Microsoft PowerPoint team that attend each year.
And at the summit this year we recorded a great group conversation for The Presentation Podcast that released earlier this week. Episode 39 – The Presenters Gather at The 2017 Presentation Summit Conference!

Where are you going to be at the end of September? If you are involved in the Presentation Industry (designer, speaker, coordinator, trainer, etc.), I recommend attending the only conference exclusively focused on Presentations!
No, this is not a paid endorsement. I have attended and been an invited presenter at almost every Presentation Summit since it began. And I truly believe this is a conference of peers, learning, sharing and having a great time. So if you can make it there, I highly recommend it.
And I am just a happy attendee this year. Sorry, no sessions on animation, multimedia or design from me (not that I am at a loss for session ideas!). But I need to leave the summit early for an international project. So, this year there are few great things:
Hope to see you in Florida next month at the Presentation Summit!
