Built into SharePoint 2010 is the ability to create a site collection based on a broadcast site template, this template provides all the functionality needed by PowerPoint 2010 to broadcast slide decks and if the site is available through the internet then you can use it to broadcast the slide deck to any user outside of your organization.

It’s very simple to setup the site collection. Logon to your server that hosts the central admin and select Create Site Collections
