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/visualizer (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.
