While you are sipping your morning coffee, your afternoon soda, or your favorite evening beverage, here is our latest Top Ten list of reasons why you won’t want to miss this year’s conference, Oct 20-23 in Southern California and then Nov 3-6 virtually.
1. Fantastic keynotes
A most dynamic and eclectic group of keynoters: a charismatic icon of technology, a neuroscientist who speaks four languages, one of the most brilliant information graphic theorists in history, and a master motivator from within our own community.
Read up on each of these superstars right here.
2. Ridiculously good learning opportunities
As veteran conference goers will readily attest, there is no event on the planet that brings together talent and expertise like the Presentation Summit does. You simply cannot find a better source for presentation design inspiration, PowerPoint instruction, storytelling advice, and delivery coaching.

3. Incredible community
At the Summit, you do more than learn; you develop contacts within the presentation industry that you’ll keep for the rest of your career. When you put 100 passionate people together under one roof, and assemble another couple hundred virtually, the bonds created go way beyond that of a webinar, a discussion forum, or a faceless trade show. People who have met at our conferences have gone into business together, hired one another, vacationed together, and have married each other.
4. Exceptional value
Despite increased costs across the board with conference staging, we have not increased our prices one penny since 2021. Neither do we skimp on creature comforts, hosting our roomies for most meals and evening receptions, and treating our Zoomies to state-of-the-art virtual technology and the finest engagement practices available.
5. You run the place
You pick and choose which seminars to attend; you do not have to commit to any one track ahead of time and you can cross tracks at will. Furthermore, several of the sessions could feature you! Submit work that you are particularly proud of or feel that needs work and you could find yourself being showcased or made over. Our Birds of a Feather discussion groups will be formed directly from your input to us, and then, of course, there is the simultaneous famous and infamous PowerPoint Trivia Contest, pictured here, which must be seen to be believed.
6. All year long
If any Zoomies missed a session that sounded good, you won’t have to wait long. Recorded versions of seminars will be made available within hours of their live airings. They will be married with the original Chat history, so you can see what people were thinking at the time, and you can actually continue the Chat thread. You will have this opportunity clear through to Fall of 2025. Roomies can add the virtual experience for a scant $95.
7. We bribe you incessantly
Every patron of the conference receives a copy of Guy Kawasaki’s new book Think Remarkable, and everyone who registers before July 4 gets to partake in our Spring/Summer Fling, made possible by digital donations from our presenting team. Sign up this month and go on a shopping spree worth hundreds of dollars. (Alas, this promotion has ended.)
8. Our last hurrah
Perhaps we have buried the lede here, but this will be my swan song: my 22nd and final season hosting this conference in person. So if you have not yet joined us on site, now is the time. And if you are a regular roomie, please come for the last hurrah.
9. You’ll have an amazing time
The Presentation Summit is like summer camp for adults; you would not have thought it possible to have such a good time at an event where you also learn so much. Our roomies will enjoy relaxing meals, evening socials, well-timed breaks, and the wonderful vibes of an oceanside resort. Our Zoomies will appreciate strategic scheduling, professional monitoring, and our “daily dish” with prominent members of the community.
10. Avoid the FOMO
We are the most prominent event in the presentation community. The learning and the community experiences spawned from this conference live in lore and reminiscence forever. So don’t miss out — whether as a roomie or a Zoomie, this is your year to join us!
