If you have slide materials you would like to present during your session, you can choose to do so either by showing them as PDF slides within Seshboard, or by sharing your screen to show PowerPoint presentations, Google Slides, or other apps.
We recommend presenting your slides in PDF format, for two reasons. First, this will allow you to easily see all of your participants and facilitate the conversation while you are presenting the slides. Second, if you send your participants into Breakout Sessions, they will continue to see the slides you are presenting while they're in their breakout groups. This is a great way to ensure your participants can easily refer to the instructions, discussion prompts, or other materials on your slides while they're in their breakouts.
