I have just come out of a PPT presentation that was absolutely horrendous despite the interesting content. Information gained? None other than whoever wrote the presentation cannot spell and to avoid at all costs the next invitation for one of his updates. I have just sat through 117 slides with graphs and charts. The poor folks waiting to follow him with PP presentations were doomed. The first speaker at a conference I attended told the audience that he would not be using a PowerPoint presentation because "they had neither power nor point". It was not helped by the fact that only one presenter spoke audibly! Pat Nelson, Potsdam, NY, USAĦ. To add insult to injury, the slide format was jumbled, the colours were garish and the printing hard to read (both on screen and on paper).
The presenters (there were three) took turns standing up and reading their slides to us, having already distributed print-outs. The most boring presentation I was ever required to sit through was on workplace violence, of all things. My worst PowerPoint experience? A company Christmas party where a senior executive did a stand-up turn with all his jokes meticulously displayed as a PowerPoint presentation. Death by PowerPoint!! John Bradford, DurhamĤ. They produced 1180 slides, all words, no graphics and all black print on a white background. I was charged with running an eight-day training event put together by external consultants who shall be nameless. Everybody in our office was made redundant by PowerPoint presentation! Ed, Barnstapleģ. The presenter in question was a brain surgeon. It has been said that assembling a PowerPoint presentation doesn't require a brain surgeon. As an added indignity, he highlighted each word as he spoke it with a laser pointer that someone had given him. He wore a wireless microphone on his lapel and he stood with his back to the audience as he read his entire PowerPoint presentation verbatim as it appeared on the screen.
A presenter at a recent medical conference spoke for 45 minutes. I work at a hotel setting up and operating audio visual equipment for our guests.
