When I did my presentation a few years ago at either SITE or AACE, I did it in either Keynote or the OpenOffice PPT version because, well, this was a bunch of educators and that's pretty much all they're taught. I actually had one or two people ask me why I didn't do it in Rev ;-) Needless to

I moderate occasional 'Pecha Kucha'-style sessions at our company, where a number of people present using a strict format of 20 slides, 20 seconds/slide. Theoretically you can set this up using PowerPoint or Keynote, but in practise amalgamating everyone's deck is a pain, and they always send t

I've not done a business-style presentation from LiveCode before, but I've been running the jumbotron display at a convention that holds a tongue-in-cheek game show each year.
