Program Description

We’re constantly being told that AI will revolutionize the way we work and what we do, but can you imagine ever not using PowerPoint? It just feels like it’s too embedded into everything to be cast aside. Fortunately, Microsoft, and others, are also incorporating AI tools into PowerPoint, allowing people to benefit from the technological leaps, while still using familiar tools.

The anticipated launch of Microsoft Copilot will be a huge boost to storytelling, design, and visualization for many – enabling them to create better presentations much more quickly and easily. It’s easily the most exciting thing to happen to PowerPoint, and the entire Office suite, since it was first launched 30 years ago.

There are other, more subtle, but equally useful AI tools that help you in all sorts of ways. From creating custom graphics and layouts, to finding suitable content, to incorporating web cam feeds into your slides, to automatic subtitles and translations of your presentation – as you deliver it, live. And, frankly, given that this outline is being written months ahead of the session being delivered, who knows what else will happen in that time. Certainly plenty to cover that will be highly relevant to people in an L&D environment who probably dream in PowerPoint.
