Avoiding Death by PowerPoint

Here are some links about great presentations and presentation styles that aren’t death by Powerpoint bullet point. Spare your audience. Present interesting. They’ll love you for it.

  1. Lawrence Lessig’s classic presentation that started it all.

  2. Dick Hardt’s Identity 2.0 presentation that borrows from Lessig, but is much funkier. I clapped spontaneously when I first saw it.

  3. And the sequel.

  4. The Presentation Zen blog, with some interesting posts from it: http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/2005/10/thelessigmeth.html http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/2005/11/itwasoneoft.html http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/2005/11/thezenestheti.html http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/2005/06/usingannotated.html http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/2006/01/contrastsinpr.html http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/2006/01/wherecanyouf.html

  5. Then there is Al Gore’s speech on global warming that everyone is raving about.

  6. And finally Beyond Bullets.

Enjoy! Blow their socks off. Be different.
