Audio:
- Microphone: A high-quality wireless Lavalier or headset microphone is preferred to allow for mobility during the presentation. A handheld microphone can be used as a backup or for interactive segments with the audience.
- Sound System: A reliable sound system that can amplify my voice clearly throughout the entire venue, including speakers and a mixer. Sound checks should be conducted before the event to ensure clarity and volume levels are appropriate.
- Audio Playback: If there are any audio or video clips included in the presentation, a means to play these clips with clear sound (e.g., via a laptop or other device connected to the sound system) is required.
Visual:
- Projector/Screen: A high-resolution projector and large screen are necessary if I’m presenting slides, videos, or other visual aids. The screen should be visible to all attendees, regardless of their seating position.
- Laptop Connection: I typically bring my own laptop, so a connection to the projector (HDMI or VGA) should be provided. Backup adapters should be available in case of compatibility issues.
- Clicker/Remote: A wireless presentation clicker to advance slides smoothly during the presentation.
Staging:
- Stage Setup: A raised stage is preferred to ensure visibility for all attendees, especially in larger venues. The stage should have sufficient space to move around and accommodate any props or materials I may use.
- Podium: If available, a podium can be provided but is not necessary if the microphone setup allows for mobility.
Lighting:
- Stage Lighting: Bright, even lighting on the stage is essential to ensure I’m visible to the entire audience. Avoid harsh spotlights or shadows that could distract or obscure visibility.
- Ambient Lighting: The audience area should be well-lit enough for note-taking but dim enough to ensure focus on the stage and screen.
Other Requirements:
- Water: Please have water available on stage or nearby to ensure I stay hydrated throughout the presentation.
- Assistant/Tech Support: If possible, an on-site tech support person should be available to assist with any last-minute technical issues or adjustments.
- Backup Equipment: In case of technical difficulties, having backup equipment (e.g., an extra microphone, clicker, or projector bulb) is always helpful.
By ensuring these technical requirements are met, we can create a professional and engaging experience that allows the audience to fully benefit from the presentation.
