#1 Storytelling
Like many others, we have been preaching storytelling from the very beginning. However, it seems its popularity is about to hit a new level. You’re not going to keep your audience's attention by stating a list of facts and numbers. Your story is the main focus, the presentation comes second.
#2 Less text
More typography, data visualization, and illustrations.
#3 Augmented Reality
As technology develops, our way of telling stories changes too. The presentation and the presenter will start to merge, for instance through Augmented Reality. This makes it easier for the audience to know where to focus and takes presenting remotely to a whole new level. Want to read more? Check out our blog post on AR-presenting!
#4 Audience takes the lead
In 2018 the audience will get a new role in presentations. Using conversational presenting, they get to decide what topics are important and which ones are irrelevant. But the audience will get even more influence during your presentation. Newer technology allows for asking your audience questions and get them to vote with their smartphone. The best presentations are interactive and crown the audience king.
#5 The Return of PowerPoint
PowerPoint is making a comeback! The new 3D-feature makes for more possibilities and puts the classic software back on the map.With the help of professional designers, a PowerPoint could exceed your presentation goals!
We’re very excited to see how these predictions turn out! In the new year, we’ll put these to the test and make even more beautiful presentations. Happy holidays!
