Would you like better results at your conference or Event?
Need some tips for using AV at your conference?
Are you a Speaker wanting to be more professional on stage?

You can get amazing conference results with better use of better Conference AV & Tech. Here are some useful Tips to help

Tips for Better use of CONFERENCE TECHNOLOGY

Decide your HASHTAGS and promote their use for online event promotion
Have FREE conference WI-FI with password
Have a designated VIDEOGRAPHER and photographer recording the event
Have a support TECH TEAM table with chargers and cables
Have a MEDIA WALL for attendee photography
Use BIG BRANDED SIGNAGE – letters on stage

Tips For Better AV RESULTS

Engage your AV TEAM – Make friends and learn the NAMES and phone number of your AV guys or Technician on Duty (TOD)
Bring SPARE CABLES to connect different laptops (Mac, PC, Tablets)
CHECK ANY VIDEOS will run beforehand (Learn how to troubleshoot no sound or no video)
Use a BRIGHT PROJECTOR for best results (>3000 lumens – not a dull one)
AVOID USING TWO OR MORE PROJECTORS of different qualities and brightness
Watch out for needing to access and run any Big company videos via SECURITY FIREWALLS
Make sure your VIDEOS ARE EMBEDDED in your presentation – or bring them on a USB Stick when giving them to your AV guys
Bring SPARE CABLES for your laptop to connect to both VGA or HDMI projectors

Tips For Better CONFERENCE SOUND & ACOUSTICS

Make sure the sound is GOOD QUALITY – Audience members want to hear clearly
Avoid NOISE PROBLEMS – Construction noises nearby or a band or loud noises coming from the next room
LAPEL MICROPHONES for your speakers beat handheld mikes (for amateurs and audience)
HEADSET MICS beat lapel mics (like Countryman for professionals)
If you are using lapel or headset mics, NOTIFY all of your speakers to have MIC PACK suitable outfits. Trousers or a belt will be needed to secure the pack
