AV Requirements
A/V & Room Spec Request Sheet
The following is a list of room & A/V preferences. Please know these are flexible if there are extenuating circumstances.
Staging
Scott will use his laptop from the stage, so a podium or table is needed, along with a stable internet connection.
Microphone
Wireless lavaliere microphone is preferred.
Screen & Computer Projection System
Scott will use his own laptop because he often has music and video files that would not be easy to move to another computer. He uses a MacBook Pro. An LCD projector system compatible with a Mac computer is required, as well. He typically brings his own cables to accommodate basic setups, however any cables or accessories you provide, so long as they are “mac-friendly” can be used to project.
Media/PowerPoint/Materials
Scott uses “Keynote” to create media presentations and often works on it up until the last minute, because of the way he often customizes for each audience. For these reasons, he does not typically submit slides in advance. Please let us know if you have any deadlines for materials, so we can do our best to meet them.
Recording
We encourage video recording for archival purposes, but a separate agreement is required and a licensing fee may apply, depending on how you plan to use the recording after the event. If you plan to record any portion of Scott’s presentation, please call our office to request a Recording Agreement. It is not uncommon for our speakers to bring a video professional to film for our own archives. If this will occur we will discuss before the event to insure that any filming we conduct would not be disruptive to the event.

What Contributes to your Digital Un-wellbeing and how do we fix it?

“Does your organization do annual goal planning? 85% of all companies say they do, but most are ineffective. Are you looking ahead far enough and at the right indicators?”

In these times of high-velocity change, leaders need to see into the future to avoid miscalculations.
