Mac Users Rejoice! iWorks’ Keynote rocks!
In mid-February I posted a blog about the Spring Education Program, a seminar devoted to contracts in the meeting and events industry. I produced and sponsored the event for Chicago’s chapter of Meeting Professionals International (MPI). As a committee member at MPI, I’m proud to say that we consistently push the envelope and try new tools and technology.
On March 11, 2010, AMC River East movie theatre provided the venue along with its huge movie screen for our graphics. We elected to use Apple’s Keynote presentation software instead of the commonly used Microsoft Powerpoint. Bottomline; we made the right choice!
Keynote engages audience members and causes better participation simply because it is so visually appealing, here is 3 reasons why:
- Easy to use animations are well developed and truly pop from the screen
- Slide transitions push 2-D graphics to the max
- Powerpoint presentations have saturated our expectations, Keynote revives our interest
Take a look at Apple CEO, Steve Jobs using crafty Keynote animations to debut the iPad:
What side are you on, Mac or Microsoft? Leave a comment, I’d love to hear why!
