My new business book about PowerPoint is now available to read online. “Solving the PowerPoint Predicament: Using Digital Media for Effective Communication” is not a book specifically about PowerPoint, but the use of the program with third party tools to convey a message for business, academia or religious content. You can also buy the book on Amazon.

Not suprisingly, it’s been challenging to find the time to post even with the ubiqutous wi-fi. I’m going to try later today to get my Super Tuesday notes posted. But in the meantime, here are a couple snapshots from the Digital Content Creation Pavillion (which is being co-sponsored by the Presentations Council).
The Pavillion is hard to miss:

Free Wi-Fi at the convention center!
Thanks InfoComm (and Sony)!
We’re currently listening to Jim Endicott’s Super Tuesday Presentation. Hope to share some “close-to-real-time” notes on his talk and Korie Pleka’s talk from earlier this morning if I can find some time during the lunch break.

Please take a few minutes to complete this important survey sponsored by Infocomm International and its Presentation Council:
Would you like to know…
- What types of organizations do Presentation Professionals work in?
- What areas of expertise and background do Presentation Professionals have?
- Do you outsource your content development/delivery/overall communication
strategy/technology/visual/graphic development, or do you do it in-house? How often does your organization contract with outside production firms for presentation development?
- What types of challenges do Presentation Professionals experience today, and how concerned are they about these challenges?
Find out by participating in InfoComm International’s Presentations Professional Survey. This online survey should only take you about 10 minutes to complete.
To thank you for your participation, you will receive the results of this survey by e-mail, once compiled. You will also get three Microsoft PowerPoint templates, one Corel Presentations master, and one Apple Keynote theme, all free of charge. In addition, you will have a chance to win one of five $50 Amazon gift certificates.

Of all the programs the Presentation Council makes available to the presentation professionals community, one of the most useful is their series of live webinars exploring various presentation tools, techniques and technologies. In case you missed the live events, here are links to the archived versions of the three most recent:
Tom Bunzel, “Using Video Effectively In Your Presentation”
Rick Altman, “Too Many Chefs?: The Fragile Art of Collaboration”
Julie Irvin, “How to Effectively Communicate Data Charts & Graphs”
As the schedule of future webinars are announced, we’ll post it here.
