When you ask AI to “make a presentation about X”, it can quickly give you a polished set of slides that look remarkably good on the surface. However, the results are often generic, loosely structured and missing the point you actually need to make.

This SMART Session takes a different approach: your content comes first, and the tool comes second. We will look at how to turn your own material – whether it’s a report, meeting notes, figures or an early draft – into a clear, well-structured and compelling presentation, that will stand out and make your points come across strongly.

We will apply this approach across AI tools nonprofits already use, looking at where each one can help and where it may fall short. The focus will be on a practical working method, rather than any single product, so you can use it with the tools you already have access to.

By the end of the session, you will develop a repeatable process for turning raw material into a presentation you feel confident sharing with a board, donor or partner – no matter the topic.
