No-Nonsense PowerPoint Template Delivers Consistent Theme to Multiple Presentations at Conference

Sept. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- The American Water Resources Association's conference on "Restoring the Everglades" featured several breakout sessions and speeches from scientists and engineers from around the world. While organizing this annual event, conference management sought to create a "brand image" of the event. The organizers hired The Presentation Team to give a series of 22 slideshow presentations a consistent look and feel. All together the presentation company had to re-work 547 slides. With less than three weeks for the makeover, the project was a tall order, especially since each slideshow was created by a different presenter.

The Presentation Team began by communicating to each slideshow creator the process and deadline for submitting materials. The design firm then turned to Adobe Photoshop to create a template based on its modern look, subtle integration of the conference's logo and its flexibility of title and body space. The template JPG file was moved into PowerPoint, and set as the background choice for the slides.  Within the master layout designers then standardized fonts, colors, logos and page layout, and saved as a .pot (Template) file.  By applying the .pot template file to 22 presentations, each presentation quickly and easily conformed to a standard look and feel that helped convey a message of unity and consistency through the convention.

The final step for presentation designers was to work with all the presenters over the three days leading up to the conference, to tweak and edit their presentations in rehearsal. Through thoughtful planning, file management and communication, this large job quickly became a seamless presentation experience for the audience and it supported the overall goals of the conference.  The Everglades is staying clean thanks in part to the clear communications and great visuals from The Presentation Team!
