The software is called Prezi and it is a good alternative to Powerpoint as it uses a zoom function instead of slides. University staff can get a free online license! If you are looking for a less linear way to present this might be an option.

performances and materialities in practices of management, organising
and governing”

Segovia, Spain – May 19-20, 2011
Abstract submission deadline – 27th September 2010

Keynote Speakers: Mario Biagioli (Harvard), Jacques Fontanille (Limoges)
& Nigel Thrift (Warwick).

Following the success of the 1st Imagining Business Workshop (Oxford,
2008), this second event seeks to explore in further detail the impact
of images, pictures, and signs on everyday organizational life. Inspired
by the principle that any social activity results from how various
organisational actors are tied together (Latour’s idea of ‘socie-ties’),
this workshop intends to examine how various organisational performances
and material objects of all kinds (e.g. information technologies, forms,
charts, plans, models, etc.) help to construct unstable although durable
links between organizational actors. This includes exploring how they
contribute to the creation of business visions, images and
visualizations in ways which allow organizings and organizations to
‘succeed’ (i.e. to happen), as well as ‘fail’.
A focus on imagining business has shifted our attention beyond the text
and towards the visual. In this second edition of the Imagining Business
workshop we wish to develop this further by exploring many other diverse
ways and different aspects related to this imagining process. This
workshop thus provides an interdisciplinary arena in which academics and
practitioners from a wide range of subject areas can come together to
debate issues of imagining.

We welcome abstracts (1500-2000 words), extended abstracts (2000-3000
words) and draft papers from a range of disciplines and approaches
(organizational theory, accounting, geography, art, sociology,
communication studies, architecture, philosophy, social studies of
technology…) that seek to explore the theoretical and empirical issues
related to a diversity of themes. The format for discussion will include
both traditional paper presentations and alternative and non-traditional
forums (e.g. performance, exhibition, panel, discussion group, etc).

We look forward to reading your submissions.
