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
