prezi

Prezi is a cloud-based presentation software. In place of slides and bullet points (a la PowerPoint or Keynote), Prezi uses a “zoomable canvas” upon which concepts can be displayed. The speaker navigates amongst the data and visuals along a pre-determined navigation “path,” telling a compelling story that sticks in the minds of the audience and makes for a more effective presentation.

Getting Started

If your organization has a style guide, a set of easily imported graphics, or a standard PPT deck, Prezi has some great resources to get you started with the look and feel of your first presentation here http://prezi.com/learn/ Need more help? Enlisting design help with Prezi is easy, and like PowerPoint, hours and days are a good measure of the time required to create a compelling Prezi, not weeks or months.

What Prezi is not

Prezi is not the key to a successful pitch or presentation. Prezi is a tool. When wielded in the right hands and combined with a trained speaker and content that matters, Prezi can differentiate you from the competition. Notice that I didn’t say that content need be compelling when you bring it to Prezi. In our experience, content need only matter to your audience. Making important content compelling is something Prezi does quite well.
