It's a PowerPoint Party! (yes, also a play party)- Share Your Obsessions, Interests, and Expertise

Wed. May 21st - 7pm-11pm

Cost: $23 or $30, depending on ticket selection - VIPs can use their personal code for $10 off

This event is all about learning something new in bite-sized chunks from people who truly LOVE their subject.

Get ready for a night of creativity, laughter, and totally unnecessary deep dives into bizarre, intriguing, and hilarious topics! A PowerPoint Party is the perfect blend of information and entertainment, where participants craft short presentations on any topic they have an expertise in. Whether it's a scientific theory, a pop-culture topic, or a deep dive on a kink activity or interest. The possibilities are endless!

Yes, it's also a play party, by popular request. We're bringing a Double St. Andrews Cross and a Spanking Bench set up on the opposite side of the room from the PowerPoint show. So come over and feel free to play during the show. Tickets will stay open during the event. 

What is a PowerPoint Party?

A PowerPoint Party is where YOU (yes, you!) can get to step up and present a short 10-15 minute slideshow on a topic of your choosing. Want to explain why reality TV is modern Shakespeare? Go for it. Have a compelling explanation on how something in our world works? Do it. Have an obsession that you just HAVE to share? We’re all ears. The most engaging, weirder, funnier, and more passionate, the better!

If you could have a few slides - What would you talk about?

If presenting isn’t your thing, no worries! There’s plenty of space to simply enjoy the show. Choose to continue the talk with the presenter afterwards over a cocktail or soda. Or pre-record your presentation to be played on our continuous loop TVs for those that want to give a presentation but are too introspective to do it in-person.

There are THREE different types of tickets:

LIVE presenter tickets (limited to 20 presentations)- $30 each
ONE TICKET PER POWERPOINT PRESENTATION. You may choose to present more than one topic during the event. This ticket is for one person, one presenter. These tickets are slightly higher in price because I find that if you have more skin in the game, then you're less likely to flake out. You will be getting the difference refunded back if you successfully present. If your presentation needs more than one person, then choose one LIVE presenter ticket and a Spectator ticket for anyone else joining you.

Pre-Recorded presenter tickets - $23 each
These are tickets to showcase your topic in a pre-recorded way so that it gets played instead of a live presentation. This ticket also gives you a seat during the show so you can watch the other presenters and mingle. A great option for those who love the idea of presenting but prefer to avoid stage fright.

Spectator tickets - $23 each
These are tickets to attend and be info-tained. Watch the presenters, mingle, ask questions, have a drink, and be educated. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a night full of creativity, humor, and over-the-top enthusiasm. Or just come to play at the party space.


The Rules:

• There are some limitations to the types of presentations we are accepting - No Sales Pitches or MLMs, No Hateful content, and No Misinformation, Conspiracy Theories, or Satire. Humor is OK. But no attempts to mislead or give wrong information just because it's funny.
  
  
• You may create a presentation based on your knowledge. Most topics are acceptable, including topics that are vanilla or kink-based. All presentations will be reviewed and approved by Mistress Zeneca well before the show date.
  
  
• Topics can include (but not limited to): PowerPoints about Science, Space, Humanity, Literature, Comics, TV, Movies, Explanations of How things Work, Historical Events, BDSM skills, LGBTQ topics, Nature, Culture, International topics, Patterns and Theories (as long as they are scientifically based). We will also accept PowerPoints that help to rise up an individual or a group of people. If you don't know if your topic will be accepted, just ask!

• Stay on your topic - Any deviation from the approved content and we'll shuffle you off stage. We want presentations to be directly relating to your slides. If you get off topic, it's time for you to move on and allow the next person to present.
  
  
• You will have 10-15 minutes to present your PowerPoint live in front of the crowd. We will try to have a visual cue for you to use for your timing. At 15 minutes, we will need to HARD STOP you in order to move onto the next presenter. You may continue talking about your topic to interested folks afterwards.
  
  
• The bar area will be open for presenters to answer additional questions, mingle, and discuss the nuances of their topics. Spectators are encouraged to get up and walk over to them for additional conversation and return to their seats as they want to continue to watch the show.
  
  

What to Expect

The PowerPoint Party takes place at the same venue as 'Mistress Zeneca's Playtime Munch' and will be set up like a lecture hall with a bar in the back. We have 50 chairs that will be placed in front of a large projection screen upon which the PowerPoint slides will be projected. The opposite side of the room will have the dungeon furniture for casual play.

Mistress Zeneca will be running the technology and guiding everyone so there will be no surprises.

If you are presenting LIVE then you will be given a number ahead of time to indicate your position in the lineup of topics. We may be giving out programs with the timing and lineup of the presentations (for live and pre-recorded shows) so everyone knows what topics to expect.

If you happen to chicken out of the live presentation, please do so BEFORE we print out the programs. If there is enough time, you will still be able to submit your presentation pre-recorded. (No refunds on the difference in ticket price)

Expect an unforgettable night of neurodivergent-friendly entertainment, where everyone—from seasoned public speakers to complete newbies can get to share their passion, expertise, and humor. Whether you're watching or presenting, it'll be a fun time. Its a judgment-free atmosphere where obsession and enthusiasm reigns supreme.
