Equipment
  • High-end PC computer that will support large, graphically intense PowerPoint slides (Doug supplies the presentation on CD-ROM)
  • LCD projector (at least 1000 lumens)
  • Remote for advancing PowerPoint slides
  • On-site A/V support to troubleshoot before and during the presentation
  • Screen (8' or larger; the larger the audience, the larger the screen) on a riser in the right corner of the room from the audience's perspective (DO NOT put the screen in the front center of the room.)
  • Wireless lavaliere microphone. For back-up: hand-held microphone with a 50' cord or another wireless lavaliere microphone
  • Tape (Please tape all cords on the floor)
  • Riser (If your group is more than 100 people in size, a riser is usually needed for Doug to be visible to the audience)
Room Setup
  • Set chairs to face the longest wall (i.e, set the room wide, not narrow)
  • Seat the audience as close to Doug as possible with each chair facing Doug. Allow no more than 10% open chairs.
  • Provide a well-lit room. Provide extra lighting over the riser area in the center front of the room where Doug speaks, if possible.
  • Darken the lights that are directly over the screen (i.e., loosen the light bulbs or remove them).
  • Set the temperature between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation. Together we will create lasting results for your audience members. If you have questions, please call Doug at any time!
