One of the most consistently funny of the Courtyard’s classic improv gigs is back after a couple of months’ hiatus: the speakers have to give a presentation on a slide deck they\u2019ve never seen before, with the topic determined at random by the Wheel of Destiny. Each presentation will be rated by a panel of judges and the winner applauded as the PowerPointless champion. Afterwards there’s a chance to mingle with the presenters and the Courtyard’s Corporate Team for an iftar (and a chance to find out more about the Courtyard’s Corporate Academy).<\/p>\n
Reigning champion Rami Boraie will be matched up against Saaniya Abbas, Kyle Herselman, and Ahmed Al Achrafi.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s free, with donations welcome; but you need to put your name on the guestlist via the website. It\u2019s first-come first-served, so get there early to grab a seat.<\/p>\n
