<p>You've worked hard on the structure of your pitch.
You've practiced your delivery.
But somehow your story is just not engaging people.</p>
<p>Could be it because your slide deck, ... well, kinda sucks?</p>
<p>You are not alone! A lot of entrepreneurs find it hard to resist putting too much information on their slides.</p>
<p>Design is more important than ever - and it's not limited to your product or your website.
The last thing you want, is for your slide deck to be a hindrance instead of a help, in conveying your story in an engaging manner</p>
<p>Are you sure that your slide deck supports and reinforces your message? How about some insights from a consummate user experience and marketing expert?</p>
<p>Come and join us at TiE Pearl Pitch Club, this time featuring a presentation by Colin O'Neill of ISITE Design: "Slides That Don't Suck".
As Vice President of User Experience, Colin is not only an impressive creative talent; he is also a passionate and deeply experienced marketer with a long career, working with customers like IBM, Kodak, Charles Schwab, LinkedIn and Adobe, who knows how to engage and connect.</p>
<p>So, bring your pitches (and your slides)!</p>
<p>We will start the evening with an opportunity to network while enjoying refreshments. Then we will listen to Colin's presentation, after which you can practice your pitches, with (or without) slide decks, to get actionable and valuable feedback from Colin, peers, TiE mentors and other attendees.</p>
<p>Don't miss this - your slide deck, and your pitch, will be all the better for it!</p>
<p>TiE Members: FREE
Public: $25</p>
