Wow. Just wow.
How we design our seminars
At the Presentation Summit, you will get to choose among three concurrent seminars or workshops taking place at any given time.
Design
Looks at questions of design and aesthetics, story and message, and audience connection. This track explores the qualities that make up excellent presentation content and is where we showcase the work of prominent presentation designers and communication specialists.
Build
Dedicated to the nuts-and-bolts techniques and strategies that comprise effective use of PowerPoint and related software. It caters to those in the trenches—the ones who pump out slides by the truckload and need to learn how to be as efficient and as productive as possible. It is a haven for all of the nitty-gritty tips and tricks on myriad topics.
Deliver
Explores all the various ways, conventional and unconventional, in which presentations can be delivered to audiences. There are more than ever these days, with so many cloud-based technologies, but we will never lose sight of the personal dynamic of presenter meeting audience.
6:00pm - 8:00pm
Welcome Happy Hour
Meet the early birds
If you come to town early (several dozen do), join us for a get-acquainted happy hour.

What strikes me most is the sheer amount of resources I was able to add to my personal toolkit. How could I not have realized these were available in the 15 years I've been in sales and marketing? Talk about an "ah ha" moment!

It was incredible to find my people. The energy, enthusiasm, and operational excellence have fostered a wonderful community. I can't say enough about the interactions I had and what I learned from my colleagues.

I really appreciate the cross-section of experts. Each speaker delivered value and we all walked away with key learning nuggets. The Help Center is a great concept, as well, and I was able to resolve a significant problem with PowerPoint. Well organized and well executed.

I really appreciate the Presentation Summit, having gone straight to another conference afterward. This one is huge and impersonal. At the Summit, I learn from real people in the trenches, and I appreciate that much more now, having seen the alternative.

I've been in business for more than 35 years and have attended many conferences. Hour for hour, the Presentation Summit has been one of the most productive uses of my time I have ever encountered at a professional gathering.

I learned so much, I met people who speak the same language as I, from a design and build point of view in PowerPoint, and who get it. The tips and tricks have been lifesaving and the Microsoft guys were so insightful and willing to help. Thank you for this amazing conference!

I leave with more than network connections, I leave the conference with new friends. I also leave with more than my company's money's worth of tips, tricks, best practices, and new approach. The number of attendees whose name tags showed that they have attended seven, eight, nine times already. Wow, what a testimony to value and positive experience.

I was blown away by all the information and so many break-out sessions you had. I loved the 20-minute speed seminars. They all inspired me to do more. Don't they say that teachers make the best students?

Affordable, Accessible, Invaluable
Continuing a tradition of being one of the best values in end-user education, the Presentation Summit has maintained small business-friendly pricing since its inception in 2003. While comparably-sized conferences have fees that run in the several thousands, we maintain a perfectly-tuned infrastructure specifically designed for events of 200-225 patrons. We promise to keep our prices below the $2,000 mark for several years to come as long as you promise not to equate low prices with low value.

Mon-Wed
- All seminars and workshops
- Unlimited access to the Help Center
- Buffet breakfast each morning

All conference registrants receive access to our robust conference app and companion printed guidebook, providing comprehensive information on all of the presentations offered, as well as valuable supplemental notes, useful applications, and other resources and literature.
You can hold your seat with a signed company purchase order or a credit card used as a guarantee. In either case, you would then get net+30 to pay for your registration.
This negotiated Conference rate is inclusive of all resort fees and is guaranteed through September 1. After then, the room rate is likely to rise to its typical September rate of over $275/night.
CANCELLATIONS: 80% refund given if cancellation is received in writing more than 21 days before event; 40% refund if between 14 and 21 days before event; no refund within 14 days of event.
