Maximizing PowerPoint Usage in the AI Era: A New Seminar Series

As we navigate the burgeoning era of generative AI, PowerPoint has been re-envisioned by C&R Corporation (C&R社) as a crucial tool, not just a presentation software. Launching on July 17, 2026, the seminar series titled "AI Era PowerPoint Utilization: A 10-Part Series" aims to explore the intrinsic value of PowerPoint in creating effective presentations amidst the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

The introduction of generative AI has made it easier to whip up slides, yet it has also led to dissatisfaction among users, with many expressing frustration over issues such as incomplete messages, lack of company identity, and the necessity for frequent revisions. Recognizing these concerns, C&R社 emphasizes the need for professionals to master the effective use of PowerPoint, understanding which parts of the process can be automated and which require personal input to create impactful and reusable materials.

What to Expect in the Seminar Series

Vol. 1: Why PowerPoint Now?
Scheduled for July 17 from 19:00 to 20:00, the first session will cover:

• - Strengths and weaknesses of AI-driven slide generation
• - Core PowerPoint features, including themes, masters, and outlines
• - Division of roles between AI tools and PowerPoint

Many may wonder why we should refocus on PowerPoint when AI can generate presentations quickly. This segment will address that question while showcasing the unique strengths that PowerPoint holds in crafting tailored presentations.

Vol. 2: Building Structure with Outlines
Taking place on July 31 from 19:00 to 20:00, the second session will focus on:

• - Basic operations and concept of the outline feature
