Room and Audio-Visual Suggestions
(click here for downloadable PDF files
that you may print)
John knows that the needs of his audience must be met in order for them to get the greatest benefit from his presentation. Their ability to see and hear John will directly effect what they learn. To help your audience members, please review the Room Setup and Audio Visual requests below. If there are any challenges please contact us as soon as possible. John is flexible and can make his presentation in any venue from a warehouse to a convention center. We will work with your A/V capabilities and your technicians to maximize the effectiveness of your platform.
Equipment:
- Wireless lavaliere (tie clip) microphone.
This is a Must - John always uses a microphone! This allows John to move into the audience and to have full use of his hands during the presentation. Even for a small audience amplification helps those who have hearing implements and improves the participation of everyone.
Staging:
- If possible, set the room up theater- or classroom-style with two side aisles and no center aisle. Position the first row about five to six feet from the stage.
- The stage or riser should be positioned in the middle of the widest wall of the room with steps off the front. This horizontal setup allows John to be closer to a majority of the audience

- Stage size and height appropriate for room size. Even in small rooms to help audience see demonstrations a platform of 6 to 12 inches in height and at least 4 feet by 8 feet is helpful.
- A small, draped table on the stage, to the side for water and miscellaneous items.
- Please remove any portable lecturn or podium from the stage. If other presenters require one please place to side of stage whenever possible.
Room Environment:
- A brightly lit stage will help keep audience focus at the front of the room. John will utilize the entire stage area and will stay toward the front edge. If the room has any spotlights, please aim them for a general wash of the front of the stage.
- People are more alert in brightness. Dim the lighting on the screens but keep the house lights up full.
- Temperature: A cool room produces an alert audience, a warm room produces a drowsy audience. A cold room produces a distracted audience, and a hot room produces an irritated audience. The actual room temperature should be somewhere between 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Recording of presentation:
- The material to be presented is protected by copyright. Audio and/or video recording is permitted and encouraged. A separate audio and/or video recording agreement must be signed prior to the event.
