What our users say

I was recently introduced to AhaSlides, a free platform which enables you to embed interactive surveys, polls and questionnaires within your presentations to enhance delegate participation and utilise the technology that almost all students bring along to the classroom. I tried the platform out for the first time this week on an RYA Sea Survival course and what can I say, it was a hit!

Jordan Stevens

Director at Seven Training Group Ltd

I have used AhaSlides for four separate presentations (two integrated into PPT and two from the website) and have been thrilled, as have my audiences. The ability to add interactive polling (set to music and with accompanying GIFs) and anonymous Q&As throughout the presentation has really enhanced my presentations.

Laurie Mintz

Emeritus Professor, Department of Psychology at University of Florida

As a frequent facilitator of brainstorming and feedback sessions, this is my go-to tool to quickly gauge reactions and get feedback from a large group, ensuring everyone is able to contribute. Whether virtual or in-person, participants can build on others' ideas in real time, but I also love that those who can't attend a session live can go back through the slides on their own time and share their ideas.
