The Future of Presentations in a Virtual World
Presentation Guild convenes panel of industry experts to share what’s next in format, technology, skills, etc. Experts include Sandy Johnson, Nancy Duarte, Patti Sanchez, Dr. Nick Morgan, Peter Arvai, Cliff Atkinson, Ken Molay, Yulia Barnakova, Dr. Alberto Cairo and John Ramilow.
Cincinnati, OH, September 03, 2020 --(PR.com)-- The Presentation Guild released its white paper, “The Future of Presentations in a Virtual World,” capturing the predictions and recommendations of industry experts.
“The world of work has changed. We wanted to hear from people who are at the forefront of presentations - design, speaking, technology - to talk about what’s next, and how communicators can prepare,” said Sandy Johnson, former President of the Presentation Guild and white paper contributor. “This project fits within the core purpose of the Presentation Guild: providing resources and a community for professionals who design and deliver presentations.”
The group met in May to talk about how the pandemic and virtual working have changed presenting by accelerating many of the trends already underway. Beyond discussing what’s next, they shared insight on how presenters can develop their skills to prepare for these evolving priorities. Industry experts provided tips and techniques that can immediately improve performance.
Key themes from “The Future of Presentations in a Virtual World” include:
Virtual presenting is here to stay - why demand for capabilities will grow even when people return to offices
What’s next in presentation technology - from collaboration tools to holographic telepresence
Higher bar for presenting virtually - greater need to engage audiences
Authenticity more important than coming across as too “polished”
Recommendations on how to immediately improve your virtual presentation
“The Future of Presentations in a Virtual World” is available for free to members and to those who sign up at the Presentation Guild site https://presentationguild.org/future-of-presentations/. The white paper is one of hundreds of resources available to Presentation Guild members to improve their design and communication skills, learning from experts and one another through author book chats, instructional webinars, and a dedicated Slack channel.
