Disclaimer: this is (more than likely) not the exact version of the powerpoint that will be used during the actual presentation. Probably there will be last minute additions and changes, resulting in a slightly different powerpoint. The finished version will be available for dowload/however you’re viewing this after SDC is finished. Cheers.
