Sponsor Spotlight: SlideRocket

I would like to thank WordCamp LA for the opportunity to provide you with a little sponsorship support. As an avid blogger and online marketer, I appreciate that the WordCamps are a remarkable place to get together and share ideas on web strategy, design and development. SlideRocket looks forward to helping out in the future and at WordCamps in your sister cities (see you in Portland!). And if you’d like to use SlideRocket for your WordCamp presentation just hit us on Twitter @SlideRocket and we’ll set you up with a complimentary SlideRocket Pro account. There is also a robust free version of SlideRocket that you can give a try.

SlideRocket is an online presentation program and we know our UI really makes a difference for our customers. They demand the ability to craft presentations that are dynamic, easily shared, handle all media types, and play perfectly on all devices and operating systems. And customers certainly enjoy the presentation analytics, which are akin to web analytics in tracking which slides your audience views and how long.

As web designers and developers I think you’ll appreciate the simplicity of posting presentations to websites and blogs using just a short embed code, and that the presentations automatically update as you modify them, with no files sitting on your server. You can pack presentations with images, audio, video, YouTube, live Twitter feeds or whatever, and they still play perfectly. And sharing presentations on Facebook, Twitter, email or really anywhere is just a matter of sharing a URL rather than a file – it’s a link that you control, that you can turn off at any time, and dictate who is able to view it.


Managing presentation content is something the WordCamp audience will value more than the average PowerPoint jockey. By building presentation and media libraries into the SlideRocket application, your entire organization is able to share assets. All your images, videos and slides are available to others in your organization or workgroup. So assembling presentations becomes something of a shopping trip where you drag and drop the latest and greatest assets into your presentation. And if a shared asset (e.g., your company logo) gets updated, the update percolates through to every presentation using that asset. These capabilities are not available in your everyday presentation builder.

Well, enough talk. Below are a few examples of SlideRocket presentations for you to take a peek at:
