2023 State of the Presentation Industry Report
2023 State of the Industry and Salary Survey Report
In late 2022, we fielded a 24-question, opt-in survey designed to track the compensation, education, and work life of presentation professionals. Although the 216 respondents were self-selected, through these surveys we are starting to see relative consistency across our demographic attributes and employer situations.
Key stats
- We received 216 responses.
- Presentationists from 26 countries responded.
- We slightly skew female (56%), and 43% belong to Gen X (ages 41–56).
- Sixty-two percent of presentationists are focused on presentation design/creation work.
- Only one in three of us has “presentation” in our job title.
- Just under half of presentationists are employed by a company/organization versus 40% who are self-employed. An additional 11% fall under both categories.
- Three in four presentationists primarily worked from home in 2022.
- Our clients are our biggest supporters, being a major source of work and referrals.
- Most of us have a college degree and the vast majority continue to actively seek out presentation training.
