SOUND CHECK: Robert arrives to the event room about one hour before the presentation for A/V check. It is requested that someone be present for this sound check and during the first five minutes of the presentation to double check that things are working properly.
MICROPHONE: Robert appreciates a wireless clip-on/lapel microphone (especially for keynotes and large rooms). If possible, have a wireless handheld microphone available for back up. As a last resort a corded microphone with at least 50 feet of cord and a microphone stand works.
SCREEN & PROJECTOR: Please provide an LCD Projector for use with laptop and PowerPoint slide presentation and a screen large enough for all to see in the room. (A wall is fine as well.) No speakers are needed.
COMPUTER: Robert brings his laptop computer and remote. His presentation is also available in advance or on a flash drive.
LIGHTING: Please make sure that the stage and the audience are well lit.
WORKSHOP ROOM SETUP: White board or flip chart with markers, six foot table and one chair at the front of room. Seating classroom style, horse shoe style or u-shape based on the room and projected audience. There should be enough room for interactive activities.
KEYNOTE ROOM SETUP: Please sit audience directly in front of the speaker. If using an auditorium, an extremely well lit, open and empty stage is preferred. If using a gymnasium or meeting room without a stage please provide a stage or riser in front of the audience so the speaker can be seen. If using a gymnasium, please seat the audience on one side only, with the remainder of the audience on the gym floor or in chairs. A six foot table and one chair should be on the stage or riser for the speaker’s materials.
WATER: Two (2) bottles of water should be provided for Robert at the front of the room. It is also recommended that water be provided for the audience.
HANDOUTS/MATERIALS: If applicable to the program, Robert brings his own quality handouts and learning materials for the expected audience. Costs for all handouts and materials are included in the program fees.
EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS: Additional educational materials are available on request. Discounts are available for large orders. Robert reserves the right to sell product.
PHOTOGRAPHY, AUDIO OR VIDEO TAPING: The Client is given permission to photograph, audio and/or video tape the performance. The client will send digital copies of such to the Agency and all parties are free to utilize the materials for promotional purposes.
