What would Duarte do: Slide
design makeovers

Did you know that 25% of workers see at least one PowerPoint presentation per day?  ar

Did you also know that when asked to describe those presentations, the number one word used is: Boring. 

While PowerPoint has been blamed for putting people to sleep in board rooms and conference halls, it’s not actually the presentation’s fault. In fact, we think presentation slides give you the ability to stand out from the crowd ... IF you know how to design your slides in a compelling way. 

That’s why we’re excited about our upcoming webinar, What would Duarte do: Slide design makeovers, where three world-class, Duarte presentation designers will provide makeovers to your slides and teach you some of the simple tips and tricks that can ensure your presentations are never described as boring!

You’ll learn

  • How to simplify complex slides and best visualize data 
  • Quick tips and tricks from world-class presentation designers  
  • Different slide types for sales enablement decks, keynote speeches, the board room, and more 
  • Potentially how your slides can come to life in the hands of a Duarte designer 

Have a deck that isn’t working?

Submit your slides for a chance to receive a Duarte makeover!

Here’s how it works 

  • Register for the webinar using the form to the right.
  • After registering, you'll be redirected to a thank you page where you can submit a slide (or an entire deck) that you’d love to see redesigned. 
  • Submissions must be in the form of presentation files such as .PPT, .PPTX, or .KEY 
  • Don’t include confidential information in your submissions! 
  • Tune in Thursday, May 30, at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET, to see if your slide(s) got selected! And don’t worry, if you’re submission wasn’t selected, you’ll still learn a ton from the other makeovers!
