I’ve been seeing more and more people use Prezi to deliver presentations lately. It’s an inspired alternative to PowerPoint and well worth investigating.
Have a look at this example: Why You Should Move Beyond Slides which talks about how we humans don’t always think in a linear fashion, and about how having ‘infinite space’ to work with can open up creative possibilities, enable you to show relationships and context, and hide or reveal details (without having to switch back to the ‘normal’ view where you built your presentation which can look very unprofessional or clunky in PowerPoint – we’ve all seen presenters grappling with where things are on the conference organiser’s desktop, or searching back through their slides and having to step through each one in sequence).
We film a lot of conferences and attend them regularly as delegates. I definitely think a new way of presenting is long overdue and am looking forward to experimenting with Prezi. It’ll be interesting to see if it goes mainstream, at the moment it’s definitely going to make you look cool if you use it :)
