Sharing presentation slides more efficiently

I watched someone take a photo of a slide during a presentation today, and I wondered if there was a more efficient way to share the slides. If you actually want the information on the slide, I can imagine that a possibly blurry photo of the slide from a distance is less than ideal. I can think of a couple of ways (as a presenter) of making the process of your audience accessing your photo/slide easier.

  • Share your entire presentation online, and share the URL to the presentation early in your session.
  • Use QR codes or links on each slide to allow participants to record the link to a specific slide or image.
  • Develop presentation software that allows sharing of individual slides more easily on an ad-hoc basis, much like what can be done with webinar or screen-sharing software.

Any other ideas?

    The last time I gave a presentation at a regional conference, I Tweeted a link to the website I had created for the presentation to share resources – prior to starting my presentation. (I used Google Sites in this case.) This included the PowerPoint.

    So even audience members that don’t have Twitter could still go to my Twitter timeline and get the link to the website and find the presentation. It seemed to work.

    Have you tried Mighty Meeting? I think you’ll like this new tool! (I’m not at all associated with this… I just came across your page and saw your question regarding capturing a slide.)
