The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations January 20, 2009

Ideas for crafting your own corporate story

We live in the most innovative time in history. That, coupled with pressure from a global economy, means our corporate stories need to be told well and resonate deeply.

In this session you'll learn how to step away from your traditional content development process, fold in compelling stories and deliver presentations in your own uniquely human way.

Guest Speaker:
Nancy Duarte, Principal, Duarte Design

Principal of Duarte Design since 1990, Nancy Duarte passionately pursues the presentation development and design niche. One of the largest design firms in Silicon Valley and listed as a top woman-owned business in the area, Duarte Design is one of the few agencies in the world focused solely on presentations, whether they are delivered for projection, on-line or devices.

Nancy's twenty years of experience working with global companies and thought leaders has influenced the perception of some of the world's most valuable brands and many of humanity's common causes. In 2008 she released the book "slide:ology-The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations" where her experience was distilled into best practices for visual business communicators.
