Podcast: The Presentation Podcast 50

By Leave a Comment

So here’s a question. What is the chance for almost all PowerPoint MVPs in the world to sit down all together on one table and share knowledge? Well, take a look at the photo and see the answer for yourself!

While we were at the MVP Summit in Redmond, the team running the Presentation Podcast(yes, they are also MVPs), came up with a brilliant idea – let’s all sit down, have some drinks and share some PowerPoint wisdom.

That’s what we did and in this almost an hour long podcast you can hear quite some tips & tricks that will help you build better slides faster.

Want to learn the tricks? Enjoy listening!

Speaking at ITCamp 2017, Romania

By Leave a Comment

ITCamp is one of those events which every speaker wants to speak at. I was privileged to do so last year and shared why that is the case!

I am happy to announce that I am speaking at ITCamp again this year!

This time I am delivering a session that is called “The Secret of Engaging Presentations”. Watch the video above if you want to learn more about it because this session is a killer. And I mean it.

Are you coming to ITCamp 2017?

Let me know in the comments if so!

Speaking at Tarabica #IT Conference, Serbia

Tarabica IT Conference in Belgrade, Serbia. I remember you!

I am extremely happy to announce that I am back to the event and that I will be able to speak for the incredible Serbian community!

On 8th of April, I will deliver a session named “The Secret of Engaging Presentations” and to be honest, I can’t wait for the moment to come! I still remember how I was completely shocked to see that more than 800 people showed up for the event in 2015. Not to mention the incredible work that the team behind the conference did! It was a crazy experience and I feel privileged to be able to part of the event again!

Are you going to be there?

Let me know in the comments if so!

Update: The event went great and even though I spent only a few hours at the venue, I am so happy I got back and presented again. I had a very small audience this time – not more than 30 people, but boy were they absorbing (and taking some of our stickers afterwards). My presentation is below and to be honest, I would love to go back and deliver for this community. It’s just one of those places where you can feel that people want to learn…

Speaking at StartUP@Blagoevgrad 2017

I am happy to announce that I am speaking at this year’s edition of the

StartUP@Blagoevgrad Conference – Ideas Rearranged!

I will deliver two sessions during the weekend:

  1. On Saturday, I will be talking about the mistakes I did when starting 356labs!
  2. And on Sunday, I am delivering a 2-hour workshop on how to craft a truly engaging presentation!

Can’t wait to see those young, ambitions and extremely opened to learn young people at the American University in Blagoevgrad! I have already talked there twice and that is the reason why I am going back again!

Hope to see you there!

Update: The conference went great! There were some tech glitches at the start of my session, but we fixed them quite quickly(hopefully you will see how the audience reacted on the upcoming videos). And as for the workshop – more than 80 people showed up! Overall, a fantastic weekend full of great young people who always inspire me with their willingness to learn!

Videos coming soon…

Update: The videos are now here! First is my talk(fire!) on my mistakes while starting 356labs and then its a two-hour workshop I delivered on how to create engaging presentations.

Speaking at the American University in Blagoevgrad

By 1 Comment

aubg_business_club_boris_hristov_club_membersA few weeks ago I was privileged to be invited to speak at the American University in Blagoevgrad. It was not exactly the university who invited me, though, but one of the clubs they have – the Business Club.

To be honest here, it is absolutely rare to see such a motivated and already educated group of young people. We spoke about the world of presenting, some tips and tricks on how they can stay up to date and always ahead in their game and lastly, about personal branding and it’s importance.

…of course they also asked me if I did mistakes when starting 356labs and I shared just 3 of them. We didn’t have the time to share at least 20 more…

Once again – great time with the students, who were also from all over the world, fantastic job by the organizers and already looking forward to go back and spend some time with them again!
