They’ll demo powerful features, share tips for everyday workflows, and answer our burning Copilot questions—including a peek at what’s coming next.

🎉 Today—September 27, 2025—the Presentation Guild turns 10!

Ten years ago, a bold idea took shape: to unite presentation professionals, elevate our craft, and build a community where presentation design mastery meets excellence. Today, the Presentation Guild has become the profession’s home base—offering certifications, professional standards, and a thriving community of experts and enthusiasts.

This unique community for presentation professionals has been sharing playbooks, publishing research on the state of our profession, and giving members a place to learn, connect, and be seen.

❤️ Huge thanks to the members, volunteers, former and current board members and original founders who’ve poured heart and craft into the last decade.

AI isn’t just a trend — it’s transforming how we create, deliver, and even imagine presentations, and the pace of change is only accelerating. That’s why the Presentation Guild hosts our quarterly Presentations & AI series — a space to stay ahead of the latest tools, explore real-world applications, and have candid conversations with peers about the opportunities, challenges, and ethical questions AI brings to our work. Our Presentations & AI series is hosted by the amazing Camille Holden, CEO & Co-Founder or Nuts & Bolts Speed Training.

Last quarter, we dove into the art of crafting powerful prompts to generate presentation content and unleashed our creativity with visuals in Midjourney. Members can watch the recording with the live demo in our events-on-demand library. ➡️Read our summary here: https://loom.ly/VCavlHk

This quarter, we're getting ready for the ultimate showdown: the Presentation AI Prompt-off! Four tools — Copilot, Gamma, Canva, and a ChatGPT Agent — will go head-to-head with the same presentation-focused prompt. We’ll put their output side by side, call out the wins and the fails, and dig into what these tools can (and can’t) deliver for presentation creators.

Our Presentation AI Prompt-off is coming up on Thursday, September 11, at 12:00 pm ET.
