If you have only been to sucky virtual events, if you attend them under duress, if you think they are the scourge of learning, prepare to have your world rocked and your mind blown. Since 2020, the Presentation Summit has been the standard bearer for virtual learning, offering unparalleled engagement and extraordinary networking.
Virtual FAQ
Host Rick Altman likes to talk about the expectation gap that this conference creates. "If you had attended our in-person conference, you expected a lot," he says. "You expected a seven and I think we gave you an eight.
"When you attend a virtual conference, you just expect it to suck. You expect a three or maybe a two. And we give you a seven. That gap is one of the most satisfying parts of my career."
So what makes it so different? Altman simply refuses to accept that human connection and engagement are impossible to achieve through camera lenses. Then he gets his presenting team to buy into this notion. So everyone who is directing conversation starts to believe that you really can connect with others in a virtual world.
All of this collective faith in the experience trickles down to the patrons and they too begin to feel the magic of all of this energy coming through the virtual space.
Is it real? That's an irrelevant question. This virtual community makes it so by its belief in it.
At its core, the Presentation Summit is all about community building and the virtual Summit reaches levels of community engagement that few other events even try for, much less achieve. One of the ways we accomplish this is by taking a concept from our in-person event: Conference Central -- a central gathering place that provides a home and a hangout for everyone.
At the virtual Summit, the notion of Conference Central plays a large part in our community building. While technically it is simply a livestream, it is always open, from morning til night. (In fact, during the conference dates, it is actually open 24 hours!).
And we're not just talking about an empty virtual space. Before the morning keynote, our virutal MC gets everyone pumped, much the way that a morning drive-time DJ does. Mid-day features the Daily Dish, where the host interviews key members of the presentation community. In the afternoon, Conference Central holds a happy hour, and we even recreate our silly PowerPoint Trivia Contest at the virtual Summit.
During the breakout seminars, there will always be at least two members of our presenting team in Conference Central for what we call Office Hours. If you need help with a particular issue, you can book time with a team member with expertise on the topic.
Or you might have heard that two of our AI experts were going to be sharing their favorite ChatGPT prompts during Office Hours.
Or maybe you just want to schmooze with one of your favorite presenters. You come to Conference Central for all of that.
It might just be a Zoom room, but it is one of the most happening Zoom rooms you will ever experience.
We assure you, that when you join us at the Summit, you will experience something far more slick than what you are accustomed to. Our team of executive producers know more about Zoom than you might ever learn in a lifetime. Through expert use of Gallery and Speaker View, innovative mastery of the Chat, and with numerous plug-ins and extensions, you might forget where you are.
And at the same time, Zoom is familiar to everyone. We won't make you learn a new platform just to attend the Summit.
Hardly. The conference has its own web-based environment that it has created, with a sole focus on ease of use and ease of navigation. From the Summit platform, you can:
Then you should watch it dea-, um, not live. You will have a full year to watch the seminar recordings.
The recordings offer a choice of Gallery or Speaker view, searchable Chat history, searchable transcript of the entire seminar, closed captioning, sections broken down into highlights, and an AI summary.
Here is a free sample of one of them: an introductory overview of AI tools, taken from our 2023 conference.
