About Showcase
Showcase has been
creating, staging and supporting top quality presentations for 25
years.
In the UK, Europe, and in
the US and Japan.
For major international
companies like Pearson, National Grid and SAB Miller. For fashion
retailers like Marks & Spencer, Swarovski and New Look. And for others
as diverse as RMA Sandhurst and Yell.
For audiences of 1,000 and
for audiences of just 1 or 2.
Our particular expertise
is Microsoft PowerPoint. And making it sing and dance.
We believe that
presentations are about changing minds, getting agreement and getting
things done. They are an essential business tool. The ability to
persuade a roomful of people to your way of thinking is critical
skill. So good presentation is critical to your career. And an
executive who cannot argue their corner simply does not hold down
their job for long anymore.
Showcase creates
presentations, tunes them, and trains operators and presenters.

History of Showcase Presentations
Showcase Presentations was
founded by Martin Conradi in the early 1980s to support presentations
on Apple II computers, switching to VideoShow, then to PCs as
standards improved.
The company is owned by its directors who come from marketing and
advertising backgrounds - in other words people with considerable
practical experience of presenting.
The company's focus has always been on the speaker and the audience;
it has used, adapted and developed many technologies to make this
relationship easier and more comfortable, and continues to do so.
