Below you will find PowerPoint files for presentations given at conferences, workshops and other events. Inevitably, there is a lot of duplication. Some of these are in .ppt format, and can be opened with any version of PowerPoint from 1997 onwards. Others are in .pptx format, which requires the installation of a document converter (available free from Microsoft) if you want to open them with older versions of PowerPoint.
