Stage & AV Requirements

Room & AV Requirements

Room & Stage Setup
Have a table or podium on stage/floor, for speaker “home- base”. May be at center or side of the stage. Needs room for papers, materials, drink, etc.

Arrange seating, if possible, so speaker can see and potentially interact with anyone in the room. No “backs” toward the speaker.

If applicable, please provide half-size table for book sales, preferably in the main event room, to the back or side of the audience.
AV Requirements

Please provide a lavaliere microphone, tested and ready, so Jodi can easily plug in, and sound can be heard throughout the room. (Handheld mics acceptable, as last resort, but please make sure the reach allows Jodi to roam the stage/ room and interact with attendees.)

Presentation needs

Speaker requires video projection capability, with sound, and large screen. Preference is to have videos/presentation loaded onto a local computer so tech can be tested ahead of time. Therefore, when possible, Jodi will provide Planner with the presentation materials at least 12 hours prior to the event, so Planner can load slides & videos onto a local com- puter to allow for testing and room setup ahead of time.

When early access is not possible, speaker will bring Mac- Book Air, with HDMI input cable, as a backup.

Please provide HDMI cable, and all other cables and adapt- ers needed to connect to Site AV system. These must be set up for use with MacBook, with surround audio options (not laptop audio).

Please provide “clicker” that works with the local computer. When possible, Jodi will brin

  • Personalized: Signed print copies for every participant
  • Book Bundles: Print copies of all three of Jodi’s books for each participant • Print Books for giveaways or contests
