Minneapolis: The Stage Is Yours, The Slides Aren't.

Imation is sponsoring a world-wide PowerPoint Karaoke contest. PPTk contestants improvise presentations from slides they’ve never seen before and are judged on how well they think on their feet. With a total of $10,000 in prizes (see our prizes page for more info), it pays to be quick and clever!

Join Imation at the 501 Club Thursday, November 5th from 5:30-8:00pm. Anyone can attend and enjoy the open bar compliments of Imation from 5:30-6:30. Only the brave will get up on stage and try PPTK. Those who do will be entered in the global contest for a chance to win the $5,000 grand prize (plus you'll get a really cool T-Shirt for being brave)!

• Tickets are limited, and will be released Thursday, October 29th at 12pm CST.

• If you'd like to get on stage and try PowerPoint Karaoke - RSVP for "I Want To Try It"  (Note: Not everyone who RSVP's try PPTK will be guaranteed a spot - but we'll do our best to get you up there to embarass yourself!)
