This is for you!
Whether you are relatively new to presentations or have built a career around them, the Presentation Guild offers you a place to belong. It is a welcoming home for those who design, develop, and deliver impactful presentations. As a community of practice, here you can sharpen your craft and be part of a community that understands and values the work you do every day.
A One-of-a-kind Community and Network
Presentation people are often alone, seeking others who understand the challenges and uniqueness of our tasks. We are those people. Learn from us. Teach others. Connect with peers in array of industries and places. Networking creates bonds and opens doors. As the saying goes, your network is your net worth.
