Visual presentation and storytelling trends in 2026

Several evolutions are shaping the domain in 2026. The hybrid format physical meeting plus video conference remains dominant, which requires materials readable from a distance and fonts adapted to small screens. The Copilot features integrated into PowerPoint accelerate outline drafting and visual generation, provided you know how to drive them.
