.
If the order of the presentations in each set of 5 presentations does matter, then the answer is 28*27*26*25*24.   (Permutations)


If the order of the presentations in each set of 5 presentations does not matter, then the answer is  C%5B28%5D%5E5 = %2828%2A27%2A26%2A25%2A24%29%2F%281%2A2%2A3%2A4%2A5%29.    (Combinations)
