Theme: Get To The Point!

Get to the Point is a series of PowerPoint presentations, where the speaker can talk on any topic they like, for 5 minutes.

However, we introduce three specific rules, or restrictions, which make for a fun, fast paced and engaging format.

1. 20 slides

2. 15 seconds each slide, which change automatically on a timer

3. No Sales Pitches please!

The session will be facilitated by Richard Michie, Founder of The Marketing Optimist, and an expert in getting to the point!

If you would like to present, please email Gail or Keith and let them know, so we can plan for the day. First come first served, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to test your presentation skills in a safe and fun environment!
