World's Best Presentation Contest '09
Our annual World's Best Presentation Contest is back and is more social than ever. This year our focus is on presentations as social media objects that get shared online and passed around.

We have two new social twists to this year's presentation. First you can gather votes not just on SlideShare, but also on LinkedIn, Facebook & XING, as long as your accounts are synched.

Second, to choose the finalists, we are going beyond votes and looking at tweets & social shares on different social networks. The hashtag we'll be looking at is #bestpreso

We also want to thank our sponsor, Adobe Acrobat.

So go enter your presentation, we're all very excited to see what you come up with. 


Submit an A9 presentation, win an HP touchscreen laptop
This is your chance to win an HP laptop plus Adobe Acrobat 9 or Adobe Photoshop CS4. Create a presentation with Acrobat 9. You don't need to buy it, just download a free trial here. Then upload your entry to the Best A9 Presentation category.

One cool thing you can do with Acrobat 9 is put an entire portfolio of files into it. You could package up a presentation, a word document a spreadsheet and even a video to make A9 portfolio. Why not submit your design portfolio to the A9 contest?

To learn more about Acrobat 9, check out this video 6 Really Cool Things you can do with Acrobat 9.

And here are examples of great A9 presentations created with Acrobat 9: Twitterbook from Mashable and Technoligizer.
