Standard Audio Visual Needs

Stage Set-Up & Mic

Highboy / Cocktail table set on the side of the stage. Ideally, any lectern would be removed or pushed to the back of the stage if possible. A wireless lavalier microphone and a confidence monitor are preferred

Audience Interaction

This keynote is interactive. Ideally, the audience will have space to stand up, spread out and move their arms around easily.

Sound & A/V

Laura may play audio from her slide deck. If no A/V team is present, Laura would like a sound hookup to play music before and during the presentation.

Recordings & Photos

Recordings of the presentation are allowed with prior approval and notification of how the recording will be used. Please provide Laura with a copy of any recordings and/or photographs taken during the event.

Slides

Powerpoint slides can be provided in advance of the event on request. Laur would love to schedule a sound and slide check prior to the presentation.

Laptop Use

The slide deck requires the use of a laptop for presentation. Laura will plan to bring her own laptop (Mac) unless otherwise specified.

Scheduling & Logistics

Accommodations

Due to the unpredictability of travel, Laura prefers to arrive the night before her keynote. She will also remain until the morning after she speaks. Accompanying break-out sessions that day are possible.
