If your slides ever misbehave, don't panic. Here's a quick guide: ✅Have a backup: Keep a PDF or printed copy handy. ✅Go analog: Use whiteboards or handouts if needed. ✅Be creative: Tell stories or have discussions. Remember, the content is more important than the slides. Think on your feet and keep your audience engaged.

So true. Mine got lost on two week europeaan visit on a new product application, since I had it down pat, my show went ahead with out the pretty pictures

A standard practice for me is to prepare my slides in multiple formats. Typically, I have them in both PDF and the format I will use for the presentation, which is usually PowerPoint or Canva. Thorough research and a deep understanding of the topic you will be speaking on are also essential. It's also crucial to critically review your slides, identify potential weak points, and be prepared to answer questions on those areas. If all else fails, consider printing your slides, distributing them to the audience, and speaking on the key points.

As a preparatory task, save the PowerPoint presentation as a collection of j-pegs (one of the “save as” options available): best case scenario: they can be dropped into a new presentation, albeit at a lower resolution than the original slides; worst case scenario: they can be used as is, scrolling through photo viewing software. Also, if, like me, you use a lot of imagery in your slides, make sure, once the presentation is finished, the advanced option “do not compress images in file” is switched off before saving the final version. This reduces the memory needed to open each slide, preventing the host venues’ tech from crashing if their available memory is being taxed by too many open PowerPoints at once

Folien??? You mean data! The best presentations are always those that are given freely. Or speak to images. And: No power, no point!

I make sure, the PPT is sent prior to the person responsible for hosting the presentation and to all my teammates and their devices. So headstart is the way, or Life has it that someone deliberately messsed with it. You as a speaker have the responsbility to speak and present your ideas without the usage of PPT as well. PPTs are always an add-on to what you have to pitch. So ya, dont make it a must.
