In corporate culture, both in Brazil and the USA, long presentations are common for important business decisions and investor meetings. However, there's a growing cultural shift toward shorter, more impactful presentations. In Brazilian academia, long presentations (apresentações longas) are standard for thesis defenses and seminars, often lasting 1-2 hours. Americans increasingly use the humorous phrase 'death by PowerPoint' to criticize unnecessarily long presentations in the workplace.
