PowerPoint has a reputation for being boring, and its functions really haven’t changed since flint was at the cutting edge of cutting edges, but things have been really different since Office 365 came along. Now, there are new tools added every few weeks, and there are tremendous gains to be had from a whole host of functions. There are also a few stunning features hidden away that are really old.

To make your presentations work and use animation effectively, you need to understand the 12 key principles of animation, first introduced by Disney and now used as a bible for animators everywhere.

Instead of a one-way linear slideshow, what if you could navigate your presentation content based on the audience’s interests?
Enter Navigational Slideshows!
In this session, we’ll show you how to strategize presentation content to maximize alignment between what your speakers have to say and what your audience wants to hear.
