The Presentation Summit – Next Month!
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:
- TLC Creative Services’ amazingly talented Co-founder (and my lovely wife), Lori Chollar, will be at the Summit with everyone.
- I have no stress or schedule for presenting – so please say hello, show me your great work, or ask any technical questions – I am completely free to talk and enjoy being with so many great presentation industry people (at least Sunday through Tuesday morning)!
Hope to see you in Florida next month at the Presentation Summit!

Currently the dev team at Neuxpower are soliciting user input as they prepare the specs for v8.

Everyone that is familiar with NXPowerlite should take advantage of this open request for feedback!

Educating Our Design Clients
Earlier this week we released a podcast entitled “How To Be A Good Design Client“. If you have not been a part of the conversation, I recommend it (of course I am one of the hosts, so I am obligated to recommend it!). The conversation was easy for us as a group of independent designers. I believe similar conversations happen with on-staff design teams in the corporate, education and internal team arenas.
But this specific episode is not a conversation just for us, the designers. In listening to the podcast I would hope it is forwarded to Creative Directors, Executives and bosses so they can hear the conversation they are not often invited to be a part of, but where their need to know and understand how the presentation design process can be expedited or hindered with their teams actions (or lack of action). Because we get to do as much educating others on the process and reasons for design decisions as we do the actual design.
