Summary
Killing PowerPoint is an interactive workshop that will transform your presentations and revolutionize the way you approach visual storytelling and data visualization. Remove PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides from your toolkit once and for all, and start building compelling webpage presentations.
The bulk of the event will be for hands-on designing. Each participant will get help with their presentation within their specific context.
This workshop targets professionals who rely on their pitch or deck, especially:
- Entrepreneurs & Startup Founders
- Public Speakers
- Salespeople
- Academics & Researchers
Agenda
This workshop helps participants design a new presentation or improve an existing slide deck, and it gives specific directions for “development” and “presentation.” The “design” phase is covered in detail, but all three phases are addressed:
1. Intro to Webpage Presentations
Learn exactly why slide decks are outdated and understand why it’s time for a switch to webpage presentations. You will never look at slide decks the same way again!
2. Strategize & Plan
Properly prepare to present, design, and develop. Learn how to set up your webpage presentation for different venues, event formats, and content types.
3. Narrative Storytelling
Hop into a pageless document to start crafting your narrative in an outline.
4. Visual Design
Source for images, video, and other graphic assets to include, and establish a style guide to maintain a nice aesthetic.
5. Intro to Development
Get direction for developing your webpage design, including no-code and low-tech options. Learn how to maintain your webpage for continued high-performance.
Consultation, Coaching, & Audit
Post-event support is included with purchase.
After the workshop, you can schedule a private call with Win to review your final webpage presentation and/or recording of your event. Get a complimentary coaching session to learn more about how to present webpage presentations. Plus, get a free audit of your webpage presentation with helpful tips for improvement.
Join the Pioneers!
Not many people are making webpage presentations, yet. That means each workshop brings together an exciting group of pioneering presenters! This is a unique opportunity to learn from each other and network. Plus, completed webpage presentations along with recordings from participants are added to the official webpage presentation gallery.
Each workshop is capped at 10 participants to ensure everyone gets individual attention from our facilitator.

Description:
Slide decks, slideshows, and PowerPoints are tied to a time when content was static and contained in finite pages. We navigated through content by moving from slide to slide, page to page. Now, we have websites and digital media. Not only has content evolved drastically, but so has the way that we can interact with this content on a screen. Webpage presentations fit in with today’s visual culture. Today, we can present content in a way that matches how we naturally view and experience the world.
This presentation has three parts: when, why, and how. We’ll look at the history of visual storytelling to understand why it’s time for a change. Then, I’ll discuss how to build webpage presentations using page builders, WordPress, and other tools.
