Guy Kawasaki mentioned a contest today in his blog, called the World's Best Presentation Contest. The comments in the blog brought up the point - how can you judge a presentation without the presenter? The contest and site slideshare (it is like a youtube for presentations) is worth visiting. If you have a good presentation, take a shot, you'll get some views and there are also some cool prizes :)
Guy's 10/20/30 rule which I wrote about previously, has greatly improved our sales presentations but I still feel like I'm continuously trying to improve presentations. I don't give them much, but I prepare them for events and our sales folks. I've found some good information on Presentation Zen. I've been looking for a book about presenting information visually for marketing and sales (more from the concept side rather than how-to in powerpoint). I recently ordered Envisioning Information by Tufte. If you know of any good books on this, please let me know.
I work for Guy Kawasaki. Thanks for the link to his blog and The World's Best Presentation Contest!
