W
elcome to a new way of presenting. Hopefully Prezi can inspire you
to think differently about your next presentation. Prezi can take your
slide-driven talks in a whole new direction. Part of the appeal of Prezi is its
totally unique way of presenting ideas. But it’s more than that: It’s a way to
free yourself from the boundaries of time and space. Does that sound magi-
cal? I hope so. Your journey into Prezi will be exciting.
Unlike more conventional presentation applications, Prezi gives you the tools
to work in several dimensions at once to wow a formerly bored audience.
When you see how to traverse layers and zoom around, you’ll see what I mean.
In this chapter, I introduce you to a new presentation paradigm. And the
price is right. You can start with the free version and decide where to go
from there. Prezi is also hosted online so everything is just a little bit easier.
The key to getting comfortable with Prezi is to jump right in and experiment.
Evolving Presentations
If you were unlucky enough to attend a business presentation before the mid-
1980s, you saw a person standing in the front of the room, clicking through
35mm slides in a carousel or you saw a person slapping transparencies on an
overhead projector.
Unfortunately, these presentations usually required a darkened room, which
was a recipe for disaster. When the lights came back on, you’d see a bunch
of bleary-eyed colleagues pretending they were awake the whole time. Of
course, no one was fooled — or persuaded.
