The word “PowerPoint” doesn’t usually conjure up feelings of excitement or fun, but Slide Slam is here to change that. Born in Amsterdam, this international event centers on “competitive art of improvised PowerPoint presentations”—yes, you read that correctly.
Six seasoned presenters (Summer Rose, Melanie Kahl, Sandeep Atwal and more) plus one audience wild card will have seven minutes total to present 10 slides, sight unseen, based on a topic decided by the audience. Hilarity is guaranteed to ensue.
Hosted by Minna Taylor and Nathan de Groot, the third qualifying round will take place at Clinton Street’s Caveat on February 6 and the finalist from that will go on to compete in the World Championship at Boom Chicago in Amsterdam in April 2024.
