How to Share Presentations: 5 Apps and Tricks to Publish Slides Online

Documents get printed, websites get published, spreadsheets get filed away for accountants to double-check later. Presentations, though, get presented. After all the time you spend making slides in PowerPoint, Keynote, or other presentation apps, often you only show those slides during a meeting or talk, then save them in case you give that talk again.

Your slides can do the same for your business. Here are the best ways to get extra results from your presentation by putting it online.

→ Need an app to make that presentation? Jump over to our Best Presentation Apps roundup for 13 tools to make a full presentation in minutes, then come back here to learn how to share it.

The Simple Option: Embed Presentations From Your Presentation App

The easiest way to share a presentation is with your presentation app’s built-in sharing and embed tools, something that comes with most online presentation apps today including Google Slides , PowerPoint Online , Keynote , Zoho Slides , Slides , Prezi , Microsoft Sway , Adobe Spark , Canva , Swipe , and Slidebean . Typically, these apps let you copy a sharing link from your presentation to let others view your presentation in that app online. Or, you can copy embed code to put an interactive version of your presentation in your blog or website, much like embedding a YouTube video in a page.

Tip : Deskset and Evernote Presentation Mode don’t include embeds, but you can export your presentation as a PDF, then embed it online using any of the tools below.

Another option is to stream your presentation during your talk, something Keynote Live , Zoho Show Broadcast , Slides Present Live , and Slidebean Live Mode all offer from their apps. Those tools stream your presentation in real-time and give you a link to share so viewer can watch on their own devices. Flip to the next slide in your deck, and everyone will see the new slide along with your online audience. Zoho Slides includes a chat panel for audience feedback, and Slidebean has an option to let the audience help control the slides for a multi-presenter presentation.

PowerPoint Office Presentation Service also lets you stream a PowerPoint presentation online through PowerPoint’s Windows apps—though not its web, mobile or Mac apps. Google Slides’ Hangouts On Air integration lets you stream a Google Slides presentation through YouTube, and here you could include audio from your presentation too. That option could work for any presentation app as long as you use Hangouts’ option to show your desktop.

Either way, you’ll need to promote the presentation yourself. These tools are a great option if you already have a popular blog and want to embed a copy of your presentation in it along with your own presentation notes.

The Social Option: Three Apps to Share Presentations

Sharing a link to your presentation or embedding it in your site is a great way to let your followers know about your talk. Want to reach new people? Presentation sharing apps are the better option. They’re social networks built around presentations, for an easier way both to publish your presentation and help people find it.

Save a copy of your presentation in PowerPoint or PDF format. Then upload your presentation file to one of these apps, and add a name, description, category, and other details. You can then share a link to your presentation or embed it on your site, as with online presentation apps. Best of all, your presentation will now be publicly visible online, and should get new visitors through Google and search inside that presentation app. That makes your presentation a way to share your ideas with a far wider audience who might not otherwise have found your presentation on your blog.

Here are the best options from ten tools we’ve tried:

For clipping favorite slides from popular presentations

SlideShare is the most popular way to share slides online. As part of Microsoft’s LinkedIn professional social network, publishing your presentation on SlideShare is another way to fill out your business profile. You’ll get a profile page on SlideShare with each presentation you’ve shared where people can follow you to get notified every time you publish a new presentation. And you can add presentations to your LinkedIn profile, alongside your job and education history.

You can upload a PDF or PowerPoint file to SlideShare, then add a description, category, and tags to help people discover it—along with additional presentation files or YouTube videos if you want. SlideShare will automatically copy the text out of your slides and include them under it to help your presentation show up in search results. You can also add links to slides, to send viewers to your website. Then, anyone who views your presentation can click through it online, download a PDF copy, or add a comment.

SlideShare includes one other handy tool: A Clip Slide button on presentations so you can save slides you like to your own collection. That’s a great way to build a library of inspiration from other presentations you find on SlideShare, with quotes and ideas you could then reference in your future presentations.

SlideShare Price: Free

Speaker Deck

For a presentation-focused landing page

Speaker Deck is a simpler slide sharing tool, Vimeo to SlideShare’s YouTube. Share a presentation, and Speaker Deck will show it full-width in a preview page that focused on just your slides. Scroll down to see your presentation description, with a download button to save a PDF copy of the presentation if you’d like. And at the very bottom, you’ll find related presentations from Speaker Deck’s collection of featured presentations in the same category as your own.

You can’t search through Speaker Deck’s library of presentations, though you can look through them by category, with newer presentations showed first. Hover your mouse over a presentation thumbnail and move it from left to right to quickly peek at each of the slides. Then, if you want to embed your presentation in your site, add your presentation link to Embedly’s Speaker Deck site and copy its embed code. It’s a tad more hassle, but you get an ad-free page for your presentation that’s far more focused on your slides than what other sites offer.

Speaker Deck Price: Free

For embedding specific slides from a presentation

Scribd is designed for sharing PDF files, and today is mainly focused on a subscription eBook library, with everything from popular best sellers to self-published books to user guides and other free PDF uploads. That vast library means it’s a popular place to search for content—and if you publish your presentation there, it might get discovered when people search for what you talked about.

The best reason to share your presentation on Scribd, though, is that its Embed tool offers far more options. Use the Autosize embed option to match the embed to your slide size, then on down the embed page under Options , choose the Slideshow style to let viewers click between slides (with the default Scroll option, they’ll need to scroll down as in a PDF file to view next slides). You can also set which page—or slide—to show first, if you’d like to embed different parts of your presentation in separate blog posts, perhaps.

Scribd Price: Free to publish and view free content; subscription from $9.99/month to read unlimited paid eBooks

The Streaming Option: Present Your Slides Online in Real Time

Want to present online in real-time, where people can follow your presentation online during your talk? That’s another way to build buzz around your talk and expand your audience. Even if your presentation app doesn’t include a streaming tool, there are other options.

One way is to run a webinar, using Hangouts (as Google Slides offers for its streaming slides), GoToWebinar, Zoom, or other popular video streaming services. With those tools, you’d start a webinar stream, open your presentation in your normal presentation app, then share your screen using the webinar app’s screen share option. That will give you a full video of your talk, complete with audio and your slides. Check out our roundup of the best webinar apps to find the perfect tool for your next talk.

Or, you could use an app designed around streaming presentations—essentially standalone versions of the built-in streaming tools in Keynote and Zoho Slides. Here are two great options.

For a live stream of your slides with polls and videos

For the closest alternative to the built-in streaming in presentation apps, Presentain lets you upload your presentation, present it, and stream the presentation in real-time to anyone with the link or embed. It’s best for letting people in the audience view your slides on their own device while you’re presenting. You can add animations to your slides online and use the web app to show the presentation on a projector—and to copy a link to share the live presentation with followers.

Then use the Presentain mobile app to start the presentation, switch slides, add polls where your audience can share their thoughts in real-time, and play YouTube videos embedded in your presentation. When you’re done, you can see stats about your presentation and polls online and save your presentation, upgrading your account only on the days you need to stream presentations.

Presentain Price: from $3 for one day of streaming unlimited presentations, so you can purchase a plan only for the days you’re presenting

SlidePresenter

For making a video of your full presentation

Want a full video of your presentation, complete with your slides, a video of you talking, and your audio? SlidePresenter is the app you need. Using its web app (which requires Flash or a recent version of Google Chrome), start by uploading your slides. Then enable your camera and microphone and start the presentation online, talking through your slides and pressing arrow keys to switch slides. Press your space bar when finished, and SlidePresenter will save a video of your talk that you can share online.

You could use it to record your talk while you’re giving it, but SlidePresenter is best to make a separate copy of your talk for your online audience. It’s an easy way to make a webinar of your presentation to share anytime.

SlidePresenter Price: Free 14 day trial

Next time you give a presentation, don’t save the file in your Documents folder and forget about it. Instead, using your presentation apps’ built-in sharing tools or one of these services, your presentation can be as valuable as a new video or blog post for your company with almost no extra work. It’s a great way to get the most out of your presentation efforts.

How to screen share a powerpoint presentation in zoom.

Giving a presentation over Zoom? No biggie. You can easily present your slideshow by using the screen share feature. Here's how.

Quick Links

Grant access to share screens in zoom, screen share a powerpoint presentation in zoom.

No matter where you work, meetings all have one thing in common: PowerPoint presentations. If you use Zoom, you can easily present your slideshow to the participants by sharing your screen . Here's how it's done.

If you're the host of the Zoom meeting , you'll be able to share your screen without issue. However, if you're joining a meeting that you aren't the host of, you may need to request permission from the host to be able to share your screen.

As a general rule, we recommend that hosts disable the screen-share feature for participants by default for security reasons . If you aren't the host of the meeting, be sure to reach out to the host in advance to request permission to share your screen during the Zoom call. Hosts can always enable the feature during the call, but it's always good to be a step ahead.

If you're the host of the meeting and someone is requesting permission to share their screen during the meeting, click the up arrow next to "Share Screen" at the bottom of the window.

In the menu that appears, click "Advanced Sharing Options."

The "Advanced Sharing Options" window will appear. In the "Who Can Share" section, click the bubble next to "All Participants."

All participants in the meeting can now share their screen.

To screen share your PowerPoint presentation, go ahead and open the PowerPoint presentation that you would like to present. However, before you put the presentation in Slide Show view, you'll want to share your screen. At the bottom of the Zoom meeting window, click "Share Screen."

If you're using a single monitor, you will immediately start sharing your screen. If you're using dual monitors , you'll need to click the screen that your presentation will be shared on. In our case, that will be "Screen 2."

To begin sharing that screen, click "Share" at the bottom-right corner of the screen select window.

You're now sharing your screen. Now, in Microsoft PowerPoint, select the "Slide Show View" icon in the bottom-right corner of the application.

From here, deliver your presentation as though you were standing in front of a live audience.

If you are giving a big presentation through Zoom, you're not going to just jump straight into it. You may need to speak to the audience a bit before sharing your screen. If so, here are a few tips on how to look better on your Zoom call .

About this lesson

In this final lesson, we will learn how to share a copy or a link to a presentation with others and control if colleagues can edit or simply view it.

Exercise files

Download the ‘before’ and ‘after’ PowerPoint presentations from the video tutorial and try the lesson yourself.

Quick reference

The ability to collaborate on files in real-time is so important. To do this, we need to know how to share our presentation with others in our team or maybe even clients and customers. We can choose to share a link or a copy. If we share a link, the recipients will be working on the original server copy of the file. If we share a copy, they will be working on a copy and the original will remain unaffected. 

When to use

Share files whenever you want to colloborate on a presentation with others. 

Instructions

Share a link.

When we share a link, the recipient is invited to edit the original server copy of the presentation. To share a link to a presentation, the file must be saved in a shared location e.g. OneDrive. 

• In the top right-hand corner, click Share . 
• Or, from the File tab, click Share . 
• The default is to share a link. 
• Click the arrow next to Anyone with link can edit to see more options.  
• To limit access to view only, remove the tick from the Allow Editing box. 
• To set an Expiration Date  for the link, choose a date from the date picker. 
• To restrict access, click Set a password . 
• Click Apply . 
• Type the recipients email address into the field provided.  
• Type a message (optional). 
• Click Send . 

Create a Shareable Link

Alternatively, we can create a shareable link and paste it into an email or an application like Teams. 

• Click Copy Link . 
• A shareable link will be created. 
• Click Copy . 
• Open another application and Paste the link. 

Send a Copy

Sending a copy is different to sending a link. When we send a copy, the recipients will be making changes on a copy of the file not the original file. This means that the original will remain unaffected by any subsequent changes to the copy. 

• Click Send a copy . 
• Choose PowerPoint presentation or PDF . 

Manage Access

Once we have shared a file with others, we can manage their access. 

• Click the three dots  in the top right-hand corner. 
• Select Manage access . 
• Choose a recipient. 
• Select Change to view only  to remove edit access.
• Or, select Stop sharing  to remove access to the presentation completely. 

Hints & tips

• When sending a link to many people, such as the entire organisation, its better to create a shareable link and paste it into an email. 
• Ensure the file is saved to a shared location like a network drive or cloud storage. 
• 00:04 It's time to celebrate.
• 00:05 We have made it down to the final lesson in this course.
• 00:10 And the final thing that we're going to do is we're going to see how we can share
• 00:14 our beautiful presentation with other people.
• 00:17 Now I would always advise that before you do share this presentation you give it one
• 00:22 final check over.
• 00:23 You want to make sure that you don't have any spelling errors.
• 00:26 You might also want to review any comments that you've added into your presentation
• 00:31 in case any of them need to be removed.
• 00:33 Also run through your presentation as the recipient is going to view it.
• 00:37 And just check to make sure that there is no lag, and all of the animations and
• 00:42 transitions are working correctly and smoothly.
• 00:46 And of course, if you don't want anybody to change this presentation,
• 00:49 make sure that you've applied one of those protection options.
• 00:53 If you've gone through all of that, and you're absolutely certain that you want
• 00:56 to share this file, there are a couple of different ways that you can do this.
• 01:00 But all paths lead to the same place.
• 01:03 The first way that we can share a presentation is by using the share button
• 01:07 in the top right-hand corner.
• 01:09 The second way we can share our presentation is by clicking on the File
• 01:13 tab and choosing the Share page.
• 01:16 Now both of these options basically take you to this little send link window.
• 01:21 Now there's a couple of things you need to know when it comes to sharing files.
• 01:25 The first thing is that in order to share this,
• 01:27 you need to make sure you've saved your presentation to a shareable location.
• 01:32 So that needs to be something like a OneDrive cloud storage or
• 01:36 maybe a Network Drive.
• 01:38 If you just have this saved to your PC, then your only real option when
• 01:43 it comes to sharing is to send it as an email attachment,
• 01:46 which these days is a little bit old school.
• 01:49 Now I have all of my files save to OneDrive cloud storage.
• 01:53 So now I can choose if I want to send a link or send a copy of this file.
• 01:59 Now you might be wondering to yourself, well,
• 02:01 what is the difference between a link and a copy?
• 02:04 When you send a link, you basically create an email that has
• 02:08 a hyperlink essentially back to this original document.
• 02:12 So anybody that you send this link to can click on that link, and
• 02:16 any changes they make will be based on the original server copy of the presentation.
• 02:22 Where as if you send a copy any changes the recipient makes won't affect
• 02:27 the original copy.
• 02:29 So it means that if they make changes that you need to see and maybe integrate into
• 02:33 your PowerPoint presentation, they'll have to send the copy back to you.
• 02:37 And then you'll need to merge those changes together.
• 02:40 I'm going off on a bit of a tangent there.
• 02:42 So I'm going to rein myself back in and just focus on sharing.
• 02:46 So for this example, I'm going to send a link.
• 02:50 And you can see that sending a link is basically the default option.
• 02:53 Now currently, mine is set to anyone with the link can edit.
• 02:57 Now if I want to change that I can click on this and
• 03:00 remove the tick from this little allow editing checkbox.
• 03:05 If I do that, it means that when I send the link, the recipient is only going to
• 03:09 be able to view my PowerPoint presentation and not make any changes.
• 03:14 Now I want them to be able to edit.
• 03:15 So I'm going to put the tick back in that box.
• 03:18 You can also do things in here like set an expiration date for this link.
• 03:22 So maybe you need your colleagues' feedback by next Tuesday.
• 03:27 So you might want to set this link to expire so that anytime after next
• 03:31 Tuesday's date, they're basically going to lose access to this particular file.
• 03:36 And then finally, if you want to add an extra layer of security, you could set
• 03:41 a password so that they need to type that in before they can make any changes.
• 03:46 Now, I'm not going to do that I'm just going to say, Apply.
• 03:49 And now I can enter in the email addresses of the people that I want to share this
• 03:53 link with.
• 03:54 So I'm basically sharing this with three other team members.
• 03:58 I can add a little message in here.
• 04:00 And then all I need to do is click the Send button.
• 04:03 Now when I click this button, it's basically going to create an email in my
• 04:07 default email application, which for me is Outlook.
• 04:11 It's going to put a link to this particular presentation in that email
• 04:15 witch the recipients can then click on and start to make their changes.
• 04:19 Now if I decide that I want to send a copy of this presentation as opposed to a link,
• 04:24 I have a copy link button just here.
• 04:27 And what this does is PowerPoint going to create what it calls a shareable link.
• 04:31 If I click the Copy button that's basically going to do a Ctrl C of this
• 04:36 particular link.
• 04:37 And I can then open up an email in Outlook, or another mail application,
• 04:42 or even paste this link into something like teams or slack, and
• 04:46 share it with my colleagues that way.
• 04:49 And an even quicker way of doing that is to click this Outlook button.
• 04:53 And you can see here it's created a new Outlook email for
• 04:56 me with that link contained within.
• 04:59 I can then address this to whoever I want to send it to type in a message,
• 05:03 click on Send, and away it goes.
• 05:05 And then finally at the bottom here, I can choose if I want to send a copy of this
• 05:10 PowerPoint presentation, or a PDF file.
• 05:12 So I could at this stage, convert it to a PDF and then send that through instead.
• 05:17 Now another thing that's worth noting here is that when you have shared your
• 05:21 PowerPoint presentation,
• 05:22 you can manage people's access by clicking on these three dots.
• 05:26 Let's jump into manage access, and
• 05:28 you'll be able to see exactly who you shared this particular presentation with.
• 05:33 So you can see here, Adriana, Dasha, and Jen, and
• 05:37 all three of these people can edit.
• 05:40 Maybe if I want to change their access or even remove access entirely, if I click
• 05:45 the drop down, I can change to view only access for this particular person.
• 05:50 Or I can say I want to stop sharing this document with Adriana.
• 05:54 It updates the permissions and she's now been removed.
• 05:57 So if she has the link already, now that I've removed her access,
• 06:01 when she clicks on that link she's going to get an error message.
• 06:04 So that is pretty much all there is to sharing.
• 06:07 That is the end of this lesson and the end of this course.
• 06:11 All that's left for me to do now is tidy up a few loose ends and say my goodbyes.
• 06:16 And I'll be doing exactly that in the final lesson.

Screen sharing a PowerPoint presentation

There are three methods you can use to screen share a PowerPoint presentation in a Zoom meeting. If you have dual monitors, you can share a slide show while viewing the presenter's notes on another monitor. If you have a single monitor, you can also start the slide show in a window so you have access to other meeting features while sharing your presentation. 

If you have other participants presenting portions of the PowerPoint, you can give them slide control in Zoom, so that they can control the slideshow on their end, without needing to ask you to move the slides forward. Additionally, PowerPoint slides can be shared as a Virtual Background for a more immersive sharing experience. 

This article covers:

Dual monitors with slide show and presenter's views

Single-monitor setup with slide show view in a window, single-monitor setup with slide show in full screen.

Follow these steps if you are using multiple monitors and want to present your PowerPoint in one monitor, while viewing the presenter's notes in another monitor.

• Open the PowerPoint file you want to present.
• Start or join a Zoom meeting.

• Select your primary monitor then click Share . If you are not sure which monitor is your primary, select the one that PowerPoint opens in.

• Switch back to Powerpoint and click the Slide Show tab. 

Follow these steps if you have a single monitor and want to share your PowerPoint presentation in slide show view, but have it contained in a window rather than in full screen. This is useful if you need to access meeting features, such as in-meeting chat or managing participants, while sharing your PowerPoint presentation.

• Click the Slide Show tab and then select Set Up Slide Show .
• Under Show type , select Browsed by an individual (window) and then click OK .

• In Zoom, start or join a meeting .
• Select the PowerPoint window and then click Share .

Note : Be sure you select the PowerPoint window, not the entire screen. Sharing the PowerPoint window only will allow you to use other features without interrupting the view of the presentation. 

• Select your monitor then click Share .

Best web services for sharing presentations online.

There was a time when sharing a PowerPoint file with someone who did not have PowerPoint was such an nuisance. Luckily, cloud based services have resolved that problem. But these services don’t just allow presentations to be shared online; they also come with their own set of handy features that can help you do so much more than just share your slides. Here is a list of the best web services for sharing presentations online.

[This article contains affiliate links. For more information, see our disclosures here .]

Office 365 & PowerPoint Online

Microsoft was a bit late in introducing its cloud-based Office suite. However, once Office 365 was launched, it did not disappoint. In fact, Microsoft seems to be moving away from its old distribution mechanism for Office apps, as an annual subscription based Office 365 seems to be the future. Needless to say, Office 365 provides a powerful mechanism for creating, editing, and sharing presentations online. There are a plethora of add-ins that you can use when using PowerPoint via Office 365 and sharing is a breeze.

If you want a free alternative to Office 365, you can opt for PowerPoint Online . This free web app provides all basic features of Microsoft PowerPoint from the cloud. PowerPoint Online can be accessed via a Microsoft account and comes bundled with Microsoft products like Outlook.com and OneDrive.

One of the most famous platforms for sharing presentations online is SlideShare . The best thing about SlideShare is that it is not limited to PowerPoint files as the supported file formats also include: MS Word (Doc, Docx and RTF), Text, PDF and OpenDocument presentations (ODT). Furthermore, users can also import presentation files via cloud based services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive and Gmail. The PowerPoint file versions supported by SlideShare include PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX, POT and POTX.

Presentations shared via SlideShare can be made public or kept private. SlideShare users can have followers and follow other users, as well as reveal links to their social profiles on their profile. SlideShare can be used for not only privately sharing presentations but also to share embeddable slide decks online for use by other users.

AuthorStream

AuthorStream is another very useful service for uploading your presentation files for instant sharing. AuthorStream supports Keynote, PDF and PowerPoint presentations (PPT, PPTX, PPS and PPSX formats). You can upload presentations by attributing a specific license type for your content, as well as choose to keep your content public or private. AuthorStream also supports cloud services like Gmail, Dropbox, Google Drive and others for importing presentation files.

Presentations uploaded at AuthorStream can also be converted into MP4 videos of up to 5 minutes for free. Users can also share this video directly to YouTube via AuthorStream.

Despite many great features the downside of using AuthorStream is that it relies heavily on Flash. This can make it difficult to upload and view presentations for users who don’t have Flash enabled devices.

Google Slides

Google Slides comes bundled with Google Drive. It is available as a web and mobile app which can be used for mechanism for creating, sharing and collaborating on presentations online. Google Slides supports uploading PowerPoint files for instant sharing with powerful features and convenient options. To learn more about Google Slides, see our post Google Slides Vs PowerPoint .

SlideOnline

SlideOnline is a very handy web app which supports PowerPoint and PDF files for instant sharing. SlideOnline converts uploaded presentations to presentable slideshows online that can be shared with anyone in a snap. Like other presentation sharing web apps, SlideOnline also comes with options for embedding presentations to a blog, analytics for presentation visitors, user comments and the utility to interact with other presenters on the site.

One of the most difficult type of presentations to share online are Keynote files. This is because Keynote isn’t as popular as PowerPoint and many people simply have no Apple product or iWork to open a KEY file. Fortunately, you can access a Keynote file easily via iCloud , which is a cloud based service by Apple itself.

With iCloud you can login with an apple account to upload, edit and share your Keynote files.

Not all presentations are available in PowerPoint or Keynote format. Sometimes, presenters use PDFs for presenting their content or like making PDF handouts for sharing with their audience. SlideSnack is a good web app for sharing PDFs and JPGs as online presentations.

The web services mentioned above provide a wide variety of options for sharing presentations online. Our aim was to give our readers with presentation sharing services that can provide a diverse range of features.

Whether you want to upload your presentations to YouTube after converting them to a video format or simply wish to share your PDF handouts online, you can use a service from the list above to get the job done in no time.

Hi Farshad, do you happen to know if there’s any website where I can select the slides I want to share in the presentation? I have a huge presentation I update with more information frequently and send it to my customers, however, each customer needs to see only some of the slides. I’m looking for a website that gives me the option to select which slides will be included in the presentation.

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.

A more structured income statement

MPMs – Disclosed and subject to audit

Greater disaggregation of information

• Next steps  

The way companies communicate their financial performance is set to change.  

Responding to investor calls for more relevant information, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements 1 will enable companies to tell their story better through their financial statements. Investors will also benefit from greater consistency of presentation in the income and cash flow statements, and more disaggregated information.  

So what does this mean for companies’ financial reporting? Essentially, companies’ net profit will not change. What will change is how they present their results on the face of the income statement and disclose information in the notes to the financial statements. This includes disclosure of certain ‘non-GAAP’ measures – management performance measures (MPMs) – which will now form part of the audited financial statements.  

IFRS 18 marks a step towards more connected reporting. Financial statements that include relevant and consistent information will afford users better information on companies’ financial performance. 

IFRS 18 brings three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. These, combined with enhanced disaggregation guidance, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users – and will affect all companies.

Under current IFRS ® Accounting Standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. 

IFRS 18 promotes a more structured income statement, as set out below. In particular, it introduces a newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’s main business activities.

All companies are required to report the newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal – an important measure for investors’ understanding of a company’s operating results – i.e. investing and financing activities are specifically excluded. This means that the results of equity-accounted investees are no longer part of operating profit and are presented in the ‘investing’ category. 

IFRS 18 also requires companies to analyse their operating expenses directly on the face of the income statement – either by nature, by function or using a mixed presentation. Under the new standard, this presentation provides a ‘useful structured summary’ of those expenses. If any items are presented by function on the face of the income statement (e.g. cost of sales), then a company provides more detailed disclosures about their nature.    

Companies often use ‘non-GAAP’ information to explain their financial performance because it allows them to tell their own story and provides investors with useful insight into a company’s performance.  

IFRS 18 now requires some of these ‘non-GAAP’ measures to be reported in the financial statements. It introduces a narrow definition for MPMs 2 , requiring them to be: 

• a subtotal of income and expenses; 
• used in public communications outside the financial statements; and 
• reflective of management’s view of financial performance. 

For each MPM presented, companies will need to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.

To provide investors with better insight into financial performance, the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes. 

Companies are discouraged from labelling items as ‘other’ and will now be required to disclose more information if they continue to do so. 

Now is the time to get ready to report under the new standard, which is effective from 1 January 2027 and applies retrospectively. It is available for early adoption. 

• Assess the impacts on your financial statements. 
• Communicate the impacts with investors.  
• Consider how the new requirements impact financial reporting systems and processes. 
• Monitor any changes in the local reporting landscape.  

Our high-level guide, available shortly, will help you understand the new accounting standard and assess the impacts for your company. And look out for our First Impressions publication, which will provide more information on the new standard, including our detailed insight and illustrative examples.

In the Nigeria Pavilion, Criticism Meets Optimism

The group show “Nigeria Imaginary” will be one of the most ambitious African presentations ever at the Venice Biennale.

By Siddhartha Mitter

Reporting from Lagos, Nigeria

People in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, are hardly shy. The stereotype runs toward boisterousness, worn as a point of pride. But when the artist and poet Precious Okoyomon recorded interviews with some 60 city residents in January for an art project, the unusual questions — like “Who was responsible for the suffering of your mother?” — proved disarming.

Okoyomon is based in Brooklyn, but lived in Lagos as a child and still visits there frequently. The artist was collecting material for a sonic and sculptural installation that will be presented in the Nigeria Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale . The event, one of the art world’s most important, opens for previews next week and to the public on April 20.

Okoyomon’s steel-framed structure, erected in a courtyard, imagines a kind of radio tower, decked with bells and colonized by creeping vines. Motion sensors on the tower activate a soundtrack: It will play in the courtyard and also online, for anyone to tune in. It mixes poems by Okoyomon with music and passages from those interviews, whose respondents range from fellow artists to “strangers, someone’s cook, someone’s auntie,” Okoyomon said.

After some wary first reactions to the intimate 12-question protocol (adapted from another poet, Bhanu Kapil ), the conversations grew vulnerable and real, Okoyomon said. The resulting sound piece, was “a kind of speaking in tongues,” as if tapping the unconscious of the city, Okoyomon added.

Okoyomon is a Venice veteran: In 2022, the artist presented a major installation in the Biennale’s main exhibition . But this year Okoyomon is one of the eight lauded artists to represent Nigeria in the country’s second-ever Venice pavilion — one of still relatively few African presentations at the Biennale, and one of the most ambitious in concept and scale.

Titled “Nigeria Imaginary,” the pavilion fills a semi-restored palazzo in the Dorsoduro district with projects that cast an oblique but pointed look at history. One is Yinka Shonibare’s exacting clay replicas of 150 of the Benin Bronzes that a British expeditionary force plundered in 1897; they accompany a bust of the raid’s British commander painted in batik patterns and placed in a vitrine, a kind of symbolic restitution awaiting the real thing.

In the most contemporary reference, a sculpture by Ndidi Dike made of 700 police-grade batons, together with photographs from mass protests against Nigerian police violence in 2020 — and their bloody repression — link popular struggles in the country to the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States, Britain and Brazil.

Other projects — by Tunji Adeniyi-Jones , Onyeka Igwe , Abraham Oghobase , Toyin Ojih Odutola and Fatimah Tuggar — span drawing and painting, video and photography, even A.I. and augmented reality. They suggest fresh ways for Nigerians, and also the world, to think of the country — a behemoth of some 220 million people that is often dismissed as a place of crisis or corruption.

Thus Ojih Odutola’s charcoal and pastel works on linen stage free-spirited, gender-flexible characters in a setting inspired by Mbari houses, once built for ritual in southeastern Nigeria; a linked reference is the Mbari Club , which gathered Nigerian artists and writers in the 1960s. “I wanted the space to exist very open and free,” said Ojih Odutola, who is based in New York and Alabama, of the suite of drawings. In her imagined Nigeria, she added, creativity “is safe; it has room to roam; it has the right to change, to be mercurial.”

Adeniyi-Jones, who was raised in Britain and now lives in Brooklyn, has produced an overhead painting influenced by Nigerian Modernist artists and Italian ornamental tradition that will hang below the palazzo ceiling.

Oghobase, who works in photography and installations and is newly living in Canada, examines resource extraction in northern Nigeria through original and archival images plus diagrams from a vintage mining treatise.

Tuggar, who teaches at the University of Florida, considers the humble calabash gourd — a fruit with myriad traditional uses in West Africa, from drinking vessel to musical instrument to fishing float — in an installation that uses augmented reality to visualize alternatives to plastics and other consumer products.

And Onyeka Igwe , who lives in Britain, researched the Nigerian Film Unit , which produced films during the colonial period. Its archive in Lagos became neglected, and when Igwe visited, she said, “there were lots of stopped clocks; it was full of rotting reels.” Igwe’s film “ No Archive Can Restore You ,” studies this derelict space; a sound installation of speeches, poems and choral music then fills the room differently — hinting that colonial archives may be more burden than resource, crowding out other ways to connect with history.

To organize a national pavilion at the Biennale is itself a kind of history intervention. The pavilion system dates to the early 20th century and maps a hierarchy. There are permanent pavilions owned by around 30 mostly wealthy countries in the gardens where much of the Biennale takes place, many with distinguished architecture. Other countries present their pavilion in one-off spaces, some wedged into the Biennale’s other major exhibition complex in the Arsenale, others scattered around town.

The African presence has been slender and uneven . (Stories abound of slapdash pavilions underfunded by governments or handed to dubious foreign impresarios.) But recently, it has grown in numbers and rigor. In 2013, Angola won the Golden Lion for best pavilion. Nigeria’s first and only prior pavilion — a solid but smaller affair than this year’s — came in 2017. In 2019, Ghana presented a star-studded show including El Anatsui and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye.

This year 13 African countries are presenting pavilions, up from nine in 2022. The paucity is understandable given more urgent economic development priorities, said Phillip Ihenacho, the director of the Museum of West African Art , known as MOWAA, now under construction in Benin City, Nigeria. “The decision to do anything in Venice is a difficult one,” Ihenacho said. “You have to ask yourself, ‘Why spend money on something which could be regarded as a vanity project?’”

But a strong pavilion sends a message, whether from a government signaling cultural investment, or, in Nigeria’s case this year, from private backers. Although commissioned by the Nigerian government, as Venice rules require, the pavilion has been organized by MOWAA. The pavilion’s top funder is Qatar Museums; other supporters include galleries representing the artists, and Nigerian and foreign companies and collectors.

For MOWAA, whose inception was linked to the fraught prospect of many Benin Bronzes returning to Africa, the pavilion conveys a commitment to contemporary art, Ihenacho said. With the first building due for completion late this year, the plan is to bring the Venice show to Benin City — possibly after one or two international stops — as the inaugural exhibition, he said.

On a hot, dusty Thursday in February, Aindrea Emelife , the pavilion’s curator, who will also lead MOWAA’s modern and contemporary department, was crisscrossing Lagos, finalizing things. She met with Dike, the only pavilion artist living full-time in Nigeria. Though they all have Nigerian roots, the others either grew up overseas, or moved away from Nigeria at some point.

Emelife herself grew up in Britain. Though she anticipates criticism that the show favors overseas-based artists, migration — and sometimes return — are part of the Nigerian experience, she said. “People are always leaving, and that’s important to articulate with presenting Nigeria as a place.”

Besides, she added: “I don’t think you can remove yourself intrinsically from Nigeria.” Indeed, if anything, pavilion artists are deepening their ties. Shonibare, for instance, opened a Nigerian foundation in 2019 that operates two residency centers and a sustainable farm.

Emelife’s next stop was the home of a local collector to borrow some letters by Ben Enwonwu , an important Nigerian Modernist painter, for a vitrine presentation of documents from the 1960s and 1970s in the pavilion. Many artists in that period were invested in connecting the Western canon with local aesthetics, culture and history.

“It’s important that this is not presented in isolation as a new moment,” Emelife said of the contemporary work in the pavilion. “I’ve met people who had no idea there was a Modernist period in Nigeria.” (Her concern dovetails, as it happens, with the Biennale’s main exhibition this year, which the curator Adriano Pedrosa has loaded with 20th-century Modernists of the Global South.)

With “Nigeria Imaginary” as the pavilion theme, Emelife makes a scholarly reference — to sociological theories of nationhood or to the “imaginary” in the work of the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, or the stories and illusions we tell ourselves to find structure in our surroundings. In Nigeria, where considerable dysfunction has become normalized — for instance, the widespread use of home generators and inverters to cope with the incessant power outages — that concept seems apt.

But the different projects in the show also make visitors privy, if indirectly, to a national pastime: diagnosing the country’s problems. “The trouble with Nigeria,” Chinua Achebe wrote in a 1983 essay by that title , “has become the subject of our small talk in much the same way as the weather is for the English.” (His analysis in a nutshell: bad leadership.)

That habit remains. “Everyone’s the minister of something!” Emelife said. “There’s so much discussion about what Nigeria needs, or Nigeria should be like.” Her wish for the exhibition, she said, was to prompt more expansive dreaming. “It will hopefully be energizing, by being honest, but also energizing, by being utopic,” she said. After all, she added, “Even when we’re critical, we’re critical because we’re optimistic about what a great place it could be.”

Dike, the Lagos lifer and detractor of police violence, agreed. “There’s always these not-so-positive discussions about Nigeria,” she said. “But this is a very dynamic cultural catalyst and hub for the continent — and the world. It’s about time we give Nigeria its due.”
