Dear AhaSlides abasebenzisi,
As 2024 comes to a close, it's time to reflect on our remarkable numbers and highlight the features we have launched this year.
Great things begin in small moments. In 2024, we watched as thousands of educators brightened their classrooms, managers energised their meetings, and event organisers lit up their venues - all by simply letting everyone join the conversation instead of just listening.
We're truly amazed by how our community has grown and engaged in 2024:
- phezu 3.2M total users, with nearly 744,000 new users joining this year
- Kufikelelwe 13.6M audience members worldwide
- Engaphezulu kwe 314,000 live events hosted
- Most popular slide type: Khetha impendulo ngaphezulu 35,5M setyenziso
The numbers tell part of the story - millions of votes cast, questions asked, and ideas shared. But the real measure of progress lies in the moments when a student feels heard, when a team member's voice shapes a decision, or when an audience member's perspective shifts from passive listener to active participant.
This look back at 2024 isn't just a highlight reel of AhaSlides features. It's your story - the connections you built, the laughs you shared during interactive quizzes, and the walls you broke down between speakers and audiences.
You've inspired us to keep making AhaSlides better and better.
Every update was created with YOU in mind, dedicated users, no matter who you are, whether you've been presenting for years or learning something new each day. Let's reflect on how AhaSlides improved in 2024!

We believe in the power of informed decisions. That's why we've developed a new analytics dashboard that gives you clear insights into how your presentations resonate with your audience.
