Battledecks @ Annual
Nine extemporizing presenters will compete for prizes and glory in the Battledecks competition tonight at 5:30 p.m. in Washington Convention Center room 103A, immediately following the Exhibits Closing Program. Battledecks is often described as "PowerPoint Karaoke." Each contestant will give an impromptu presentation on a topic that will be assigned in the room, using slides they have never seen before. Despite these challenges, the results are frequently hilarious, thought-provoking, and surprisingly insightful.
