PresentationCamp is an ad-hoc gathering of passionate folks who want to share, interact and spread the love around the topic of presentation design and delivery. Come to learn, come to share: everyone walks away knowing a little bit more.

No More Death by PowerPoint

Spending your days and nights toiling away on a killer slide set?  Need to develop one?  Hearing about the new trends set by Nancy Duarte, Guy Kawasaki, Garr Reynolds and others?  Wondering if the new trend toward visuals and storytelling are really going to take you to the next level?  Did you see a fantastic presentation and want to emulate it?

Yes?  Then let's get together and talk about it.

Event Details

When: Saturday, October 20, 2012, Stanford University 

9:30 AM-4 PM. Sessions start at 10 AM. Agenda-making starts at 9:30, so come early to snag a good session time!

We have an amazing space on Stanford's campus, with four fully-equipped conference rooms, two outdoor eating areas, and a kitchen and lounge area to test your presentations or just kick back. The cost includes morning coffee and fruit, lunch, and healthy snacks. Depending on sponsorship and attendance, we're likely to hold a happy hour afterwards.

• Coffee and hot water (and tea) will be available in the morning. Lunch will be Mediterranean to cater to vegetarian and gluten/lactose free individuals.

Looking for a Few Good Volunteers

PresentationCamp runs on the energy and good will of the participants. Can you devote a little of your time at the conference to do any of the following?  Please contact contact the organizers if you can, and we'll send you a link to the detailed task list to choose where you can help.

• Morning setup
• Monitor the Registration Table (even if it's only for a few minutes) 
• Cleanup (stay a bit after the end to help put the space back the way we found it)

What's an Unconference?

A conference, only better. Take the best aspects of a conference -- the networking, the hands-on activities -- and you have an unconference. Giving a presentation is open to anyone, and encouraged! 

The event schedule will be determined from 9:30-10:00 AM, starting with Rich Cox getting us in the right mindset with improv activities.

All attendees are invited to host a session. You do not have to host if you don’t want, but it is encouraged. Once the schedule is set, the fun begins! Expect to be engaged, educated, and hopefully entertained as well.
