Joi Ito, CEO of Creative Commons (the organization that provides free copyright consistent licenses for people to share and build upon the work of others) used Prezi for his talk at TEDxDubai a few weeks ago. When we reached out for him to ask about his experiences and thoughts on Prezi’s new Reuse feature, he immediately offered all his prezis for our community to reuse. Read on to learn what Joi thinks about creating a good presentation with Prezi, and feel free to reuse his prezis stored in our Library!
Thanks for choosing Prezi for your talk at TEDxDubai. What motivated you to use this tool instead of your old presentation software?
Prezi provides context, fits my style of speaking much better than slides. I think it helps the audience understand how the concepts are related.
You have kindly offered all your public prezis to our community for reuse. How do you think remixing will affect presentation culture?
This is absolutely excellent and key. All of our talks are inspired by others and using and reusing material should significantly improve the quality of all of our talk. I think it would be good to come up with a way to give attribution and set up social norms for this. You should use Creative Commons licenses too. 
What would you suggest to new Prezi authors, what are your key considerations when building a public talk?
You have some great tutorials, but I think the important thing is to sketch the concepts that you want to discuss. Then, create the assets and do the screenshots. Then, create the frames and orientations for the key concepts, drop the assets in. Then work on the path and adjust the frames as necessary.
