Presenting your ideas in PowerPoint

These official MIT presentation templates give you the luxury to focus on your talk—not your formatting.

And by using the Institute logo, you put your presentation in context and reinforce your role as a member of the MIT community.

Choose one of these three MIT logo templates for your next presentation. If you already have a PowerPoint presentation and would like to insert the MIT graphic identity at the bottom, use the footer templates instead. All the templates are designed so that you can add other essential information, as well—title, date, and authors, for example.
