Master PowerPoint in the Generative AI Era: Free Seminar Series 'PowerPoint Mastery in the AI Age Vol.3–Vol.5' Starts August 7 (Fri)

Creek & River Co., Ltd. (C&R) will host an online seminar series titled 'PowerPoint Mastery in the AI Age Vol.3/Vol.4/Vol.5' in August 2026, designed to help participants systematically re-evaluate the essential value of PowerPoint in the generative AI era and learn how to use it more effectively. Vol.3 is scheduled for August 7 (Fri), Vol.4 for August 21 (Fri), and Vol.5 for August 28 (Fri).

Thanks to advances in generative AI, creating slides has become faster than ever. However, new challenges have emerged—such as outputs not matching intent, lack of company-specific branding, and the need to redo presentations repeatedly. This seminar series encourages participants to return to the fundamentals of PowerPoint and clearly identify which parts to delegate to AI and which to control manually, aiming to create presentations that are not only automatically generated but also effective, reusable, and valuable as corporate assets.

Vol.3 will provide practical guidance on designing prompts to generate AI-driven presentation outlines, importing AI outputs into PowerPoint, and refining them to align with your own objectives. Vol.4 will focus on the concept of 'themes' to control the overall impression of slides and explain how to understand and apply color rules systematically. Vol.5 will cover font settings and graphic styles linked to themes, teaching participants how to control the overall look and feel of their documents through specific configurations.

Those interested in building a solid foundation for slide creation in the AI era are encouraged to attend.
