PresentationXpert Monthly Newsletter

April 2017

Dear Readers:

First, I want to share some exciting news.

For years PresentationXpert has brought exciting, actionable content to its subscribers. Building relationships with its readers, and inviting the brightest minds in the Presentation arena to bestow their expertise down upon us (and our slide decks).

So, it is with immense excitement that I announce our PresentationXpert team has made the decision to re-invest in the brand. It has become clear that expanding our content offerings is what you have been asking for. We are increasing our webinar production, our technology, and overall readership in an effort to build and support this amazing community of presentation experts. PresentationXpert is revamping its website, building out its content offerings, and has signed a new agreement with ON24 (a state-of-the-art webinar platform) to offer you the very best in virtual learning.

We are thrilled to have gained your readership and support, and we look forward to impressing you with what is sure to be - the beginning of something special. We are looking forward to seeing many of you at this year's Presentation Summit in Clearwater, FL, September 24th - 27th.

Next month, we will be offering a new paid webinar series. The first one will be PowerPoint Presentation Hacks for Business with Microsoft PowerPoint MVP, Nolan Haims. Scheduled for Tuesday, May 23^rd at 11am PT/ 2pm ET, It's a "can't miss" session for anyone who wants to fine-tune their PowerPoint skills with great tips and tricks (and dazzle their peers.) Nolan has presented many paid webinars, and we can now make those webinars available to our community. Register now for the special introductory price of $169.

This month's "Dishing on Presentations" conversation is with Tom Howell, Synapsis Creative in Australia. He is very passionate about the importance of the presentation specialist and the value it brings to organizations. You can also read more about it in his article this month as well as another article on the growth of the presentation specialist job category.

Till next month,
