Export your agenda to Powerpoint

You can export your session to PowerPoint, and save time if you want to use your session agenda as a structure for a PowerPoint presentation about your session.

You can use your exported file as a starting point for creating a participant-facing slide deck, or perhaps merge and hide these exported slides into an existing slide deck, therefore keeping them as a reference for yourself.

You can export your presentation to Power Point with or without using the AI Assistant.

With the AI Assistant, you can turn your SessionLab agenda into a polished PowerPoint presentation in just a few clicks.

Instead of rebuilding your workshop slides manually, you can now use AI-generated PowerPoint export to create a presentation-ready deck directly from your session content. Here is how to do it:

SessionLab will generate an editable presentation outline based on your agenda and session blocks.

Unlike the classic PowerPoint export, which creates one slide per block, this option uses AI to generate a more structured presentation with consistent layouts, improved flow, and concise slide content.

Before generating the final presentation, you can review and refine the outline. You can ask AI to:

Once you’re happy with the outline, click Create Presentation to generate the final .pptx file.

The generated presentation:

You can continue editing the file in Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, Apple Keynote.

The quality of the generated presentation depends on how detailed your session content is. Sessions with clearly described blocks and activities typically produce stronger slide outlines.

We recommend reviewing the generated presentation before delivering your session.

AI-generated PowerPoint export is currently in Beta and is available on paid plans with AI features enabled.

To export the agenda without the AI Assistant, simply click on the ‘As PowerPoint’ option under the Export menu:

On the pop-up screen, you’ll now see two options under the Preset menu; ‘Overview’ and ‘Details’.

Choosing the ‘Details’ preset will allow you to export all your session’s content to PowerPoint format, with a different slide for each block in your agenda.

You’ll have control over what is visible on your export:

Your file will then be downloaded to your computer. Click on this file to open it up in PowerPoint or Google Slides. Please note, our exports currently do not open in Mac's Keynote program

When you open the file in PowerPoint or Google Slides, you’ll find a title slide with the name of the session, as well as one slide for each block or group in your agenda. Each slide will include the title and description, and the rest of the block details (including timing and additional information) will be in the notes section of the slide.

Head to the Export menu from any session you’re an owner or collaborator on, and choose the ‘As PowerPoint’ option.

Choose the ‘Overview’ option, select the days (or all days) you wish to include and click on ‘Export PPT’.

You’ll then have a PowerPoint export showing a high-level overview of your agenda, including the titles of the blocks, their category colours and timing, but with no further information from the other columns in your plan.

If you’re also looking to insert a table overview into your agenda into a slide deck, then the Copy to clipboard feature will be the ideal solution for this.
