Why Presentation Matter. PowerPoint is installed on at least 1 billion computers but 95% of presentations still miss the mark. One great presentation can change the world, win hearts and minds, and convince people of your ideas.
In this SlideShare presentation, we've put together some helpful tips to improve your presentation designs and how to make your presentations more engaging.
Every presentation should understand its audience and convey your message clearly. Tell people why it matters to them, not only the what and how.
Because we truly believe presentations matter and every slide counts.
We hope you enjoy this SlideShare and if you need help with your presentation designs you know where you can find us.
This SlideShare was designed by The Presentation Designer, a presentation design agency based in the UK.
This is a minimal concept you should consider for your PowerPoint slides in order to make them more engaging and exciting.
I work as a presentation designer and help speakers and marketers with their pitches. If you need help with any of these concepts, drop me an email and I will be happy to help.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

How to Create an Outstanding Presentation
1. How to Prepare an Outstanding Presentation Presented by Saundra Washington www.techtools4biz.com
2. You’ve got to give a presentation and you’re dreading it.
3. Not to worry: The secret to a good presentation is effective preparation. Following are 10 tips to help you prepare an outstanding talk.
4. 1. Don’t usetechnology as a crutch. For example, too many speakers depend too heavily on PowerPoint®. PowerPoint®, Keynote® and other software should enhance your presentation. They should never become your presentation. My Presentation
5. 2. Start by outlining your talk. Don’t even turn on PowerPoint®until you know what you want to say.Use a pencil and paper or your word processor to create an outline.
7. 3. Don’t be boring. Never read the slides word-for-word unless you’re planning to put your audience to sleep.Instead prepare speaking notes in advance and use them to speak extemporaneously.
8. 4. Practice. Run through your talk in advance to ensure a smooth delivery. If possible, practice in the room where your presentation will be given.
9. 5. Be prepared for technology failures. Have a hardcopy of your presentation with you in case something goes wrong. Practice giving your talk without a computer or slides.
10. 6. Don’t try to tell too much. Blah, blah, blah, blah Blah, blah, blah, blah Blah, blah, blah, blah A short, well-organized presentation is better than a long, rambling talk. Therefore, identify only two or three main points you want to convey and build your presentation around those points.
14. 9. Keep it simple. Slides, charts, and graphs should be simple to understand and easy to read—even from the back of the room.
15. 10. Don’t clown around with special effects. Use animation and fancy slide transitions sparingly. Encourage your audience to focus on what you’re saying rather than the funny stuff that’s happening on the screen.
16. To sum it up: A good presentation… …is not dependent on PowerPoint®, …is not dependent on technology, …and is presented spontaneously.
17. A good presentation… … is short and to the point; …is planned around a few central ideas; …and has an easy to identify beginning, middle, and end.
18. It features… …simple, easy-to-understand visuals; …uncluttered slides readable even in the back of the room; …and minimal special effects.
19. Finally, a good presentation has a confident, knowledgeable presenter… …You.
