Slides Carnival also has free to use Google Slide templates that you can use to help customize your presentation.
Customize Theme in Slides
Maybe you want to change the font of the theme that you choose so that it will change on all slides at once. Or maybe you want something to show up on every slide automatically, like a name in the bottom right corner. Check out how you can make this happen.
Engaging Audience
Things to consider
Is there music relating to your topic that you could play while people are settling in before your session?
Would it be helpful for your attendees to take a short Google Form to see what they already know about your topic that you could use during your talk?
Should a Kahoot be made for people to take in March or April to help gather more data for your topic and journey?
Does it make sense to have as little words on slides as possible and show more visuals than text?
All of these are random questions. But hopefully they get you thinking about potential ideas you could use. Maybe it sparks your own unique idea?
