Requested A/V and Room Set-Up
Although each speech is different, here are the standard items Stephen typically requests for an event:
- A wireless lapel microphone (for audiences over 50)
- A flip chart (ideally Post-It style) with markers
- An overhead projector/document camera (for audiences over 250)
- A PC projector (or we can load our materials on your computer)
- A wireless handheld microphone with a microphone runner (for large audiences)
Half-rounds are better than auditorium or classroom style. On the stage, a small cocktail table is better than a lectern.
