BUSINESS PRESENTATION
Using technology to support a presentation can significantly enhance a business leader’s effectiveness. This event provides recognition for PBL members who demonstrate the ability to deliver an effective business presentation while using business presentation technology.
COMPETENCIES
The topic to be developed in this presentation will be announced on the state and national website each year. Participants will develop a multimedia presentation using the software and/or technology of their choice. The presentation may include elements such as graphics, pictures, music, sound, text, video, and transitions.
ELIGIBILITY
Entries may be created by an individual member or by a team, not to exceed three (3) members. Members may compete in this event more than once if they have not previously placed in the top ten of the event at the National Leadership Conference (NLC). If a member places in the top ten of an event at the NLC, they are no longer eligible to compete in that event.

PRELIMINARY ROUND
The participant must use a presentation software program as an aid in delivering the business presentation.
Competitors are responsible for bringing their own device for this event and must be able to show their presentation to the judges on this device as there will be no use of projectors.
Five minutes (5) will be allowed to set up and remove equipment or presentation items. When five minutes have elapsed, the timer will automatically start the seven-minute performance clock.
Individuals or team members must perform all aspects of the presentation (e.g., speaking, setup, operating audiovisual equipment). Other representatives of the chapter may not provide assistance.
The individual or team has seven (7) minutes to deliver the presentation. All team members must actively participate in the presentation.
Visual aids and samples specifically related to the project may be used in the presentation; however, no items may be left with the judges.
Competitors are expected to follow all applicable copyright laws. Refer to the Format Guide for copyright guidelines.
Any photographs, text, trademarks, or names used must be supported by proper documentation and approvals indicated.
The individual or team has seven (7) minutes to present. A timekeeper will stand at six (6) minutes and again at seven (7) minutes. The timekeeper will stop the participants from continuing once their allotted time has elapsed. Following each oral presentation, the judges will conduct a three-minute (3) question-and-answer period during which the presenters should be prepared to defend all aspects of their presentation.
FINAL ROUND
If a final round is needed, a maximum of ten (10) finalists—or an equal number from each group—will be scheduled for the final round. All other procedures as outlined in the general information and preliminary round will be followed for the final round. The final performance is open to conference attendees, except performing participants of this event. In the event that there are 15 or fewer entries, the final round will be eliminated.
JUDGING
Oral performances will be judged by a panel at the conference. All judges’ decisions are final.
AWARDS
State State awards for the top five places are presented at the State Leadership Conference.
