Web & Recorded PowerPoint Presentations

Many presentations have multiple delivery methods: live in a meeting room, e-mailed to others after the presentation, live via web meeting technology, and watched in video format on the web.  Each format has unique requirements that presenters need to take into account.

I’ve written a number of articles that cover some of these topics:
Best Practices for Designing Sales Presentations To Be Delivered over the Web
Best Practices for Delivering Sales Presentations To Be Delivered over the Web
Creating a Sales Video in PowerPoint
Battling the high price of gas with live presentations delivered over the Internet

I get many questions from presenters who have to start using web presentations because of travel budget cuts, the latest healths care or because their attendees are noe scattered across the country or the world.  So I created a traning video that explains how to create and deliver an effective web presentation using WebEx, GoToMeeting, Live Meeting or any of the other web meeting services.  Here's a preview of the video and you can get all the details and purchase it here.

I also deliver conference or workshop programs that cover how presenters can effectively deliver their presentation in these different formats.  Here are some of the program descriptions:

Creating Presentations for more than the conference room
The life of a presentation today extends well beyond the actual time of the live presentation.  There are those who will be sent the presentation by e-mail, those who will watch it via the web (live or later) and those who will view it on their mobile device.  Each of these mediums has different requirements to be successful.  But you don’t have time to create multiple versions of your presentation.  In this session, you’ll learn what you need to do in order to make one presentation file work well in all situations.  You’ll see how to include the additional information that those who view the presentation after the fact need in order to fully understand your message.

Converting your presentation to video for distribution to others
Instead of simply sending your presentation slides by e-mail, it would often be better to create a video of the slides with your voice adding an audio track for the message.  You may think that this requires special video editing software and advanced knowledge.  In reality, you can probably accomplish it with the system you already have.  This session will show you how to use different software and hardware to create a video of your presentation and discuss how to distribute it to others.

What you need to know about delivering an effective web presentation
More presentations are being delivered over web based services to cut down on travel time and cost.  Do you need to design or deliver a presentation over the web any differently than a live presentation?  You bet you do!  This session will teach you how to avoid two features of PowerPoint that look awful when presented over the web, one trick to use to make your presentation seem like you are in the room with every participant, and a host of other tips to make your web based presentations successful.  See the presentation from the audience’s point of view as we will set up a webcast in the room.
