👩🏻‍💻 Never Being Boring: How we built a better presentation app
iA Presenter turns presenting on its head with a text-first interface. This helps us focus on what matters, our message. It helps us save time by using our existing work as the obvious starting point. Once we’ve created a compelling script, we can focus on what our audience is going to see, with all the usual options. Add visuals to direct the attention of your audience to your voice. The design is done automatically, adapts to devices and saves you a ton of time. Use the time you saved to practice and improve your delivery until you know by heart what you want to say. Never worry about forgetting the script. Use a relaxing, Karaoke-like speaker view. A powerful safety net that leaves us free to tell our story and move our audience to act. Focus on crafting a compelling story instead of designing fixed slides. Nudging text boxes and pinching in and out on your phones are a thing of the past. Tell a convincing story and use your words to move people.

About Front Conference Zurich: Where design meets technology.

Designers and developers share a common mission - to create amazing experiences. But it's not always easy for these two tribes to communicate. To bridge the gap between design and technology, we created the Front Conference in 2011.
To create great digital products, we rely on each other: designers on developers and developers on designers. That's why we came up with the idea of a conference for everyone involved in the design and implementation of a front end.
By staying at the forefront of both design and technology, we've grown to become the largest web conference in Switzerland. Our interests have broadened to reflect the increasing maturity of the industry. We now cover management topics such as design leadership, tech governance and UX strategy.
Our attendees range from juniors to managers, and we attract key speakers to come to Zurich and share their knowledge in talks and workshops.
The conference has become a place to learn and network, and we have many loyal professionals who come back every year.
