Whose Slide Is It Now? is a fast-paced, improv-style event where participants give spontaneous presentations using random, unseen slide decks. It’s a hilarious and engaging challenge that builds quick thinking, creativity, and public speaking skills—all while keeping the audience entertained.

Specifically NOT associated with the event at other great conferences with a now “similar” name.  Respectful nod to the awesome folks at WSIIA who are NOT the ones running this event.

Event Details and Information

Whose Slide Is It Now? began its appearance at SAINTCON as a late-night way to allow conference staff members to hang out and have a laugh after a long week of conference chaos.   Like everything at SAINTCON is has evolved and is now:

SAINTCON’s unpredictable, laugh-out-loud improv event where participants give a short presentation using a slide deck they’ve never seen before. The decks are random, ridiculous, and often completely unrelated to anything sensible—which is exactly the point. It’s a test of wit, storytelling, and composure under pressure, with a focus on fun over perfection. Whether you’re on stage or in the audience, expect to be thoroughly entertained.

What should I bring?

Just bring yourself and your sense of humor! No laptops, notes, or prep materials needed. We supply the slides, the mic, and the chaos.

What skills do I need?

Participants should be comfortable speaking in front of a crowd and thinking on their feet. A flair for improv, storytelling, or comedy definitely helps—but even brave souls looking to push their comfort zone are welcome. This is about fun and community, not perfection.
