I will design my presentation to meet your time frame from 30 minutes to two
days. I have the experience to be flexible enough to adapt to your changing
needs. I will do whatever I can to work within your time requirements.
All my presentations have a 100% satisfaction guarantee - if my program does not
meet or exceed expectations, the speaker fee will be refunded—no questions
asked!
Also, I have never missed or been late to any of the
300+ presentations given
in the past 5 years.
I provide complete copies of my presentations
slides as
handouts and, when appropriate,
substantial collateral material. This will be customized with your event or
group logo and usually it will be 8-12 pages long depending on the program. I
often receive compliments on the completeness and helpfulness of my
handouts.
My course notes typically
will be emailed to you for copying as PowerPoint document three weeks prior to your event.
If preferred, I can simply bring the copies with me at basic reproduction costs.
I will
bring my own laptop computer (1024 x 768 resolution), advance mechanism and
laser pointer.
AV Equipment to be provided:
A data projector
(DLP or
LCD) with 1200+ lumens output and 1024 x 768 (XGA) resolution.
A screen
A standard skirted rolling
AV cart, 42-inch high (1.1M) - I use this instead of a lectern.
A wireless lapel
microphone (with audiences greater than 50 persons)
AC power to the
lectern (the cart) and to the data
projector
A computer-projector connecting cable
(up to 25 ft. or 8 meters long depending on room size)
A sound patch from my
computer to the PA system (mini-plug output) -- needed for some of the
presentations.
Set up requirements:
I prefer to
work from the floor rather than use a stage/riser unless the audience
exceeds 300.
The area above the screen
needs to be darkened in order to provide good contrast.
I work with a
variety of seating configurations depending on your set up needs, but my
preferred seating is chevron schoolroom. With a
background of 20 years planning large meetings, I can assist with optimal
seating configurations for your audience.
My speaking fee ranges from
$4,000 (North America) to US$6,000 (non-North American
engagements). For that, I will give you a 100% satisfaction guarantee. You
will be delighted with the presentation or your money back.
Coach airfare and basic travel/meal expenses (nothing
extravagant) are charged. Full itemization and receipts are provided. Where
applicable, airfare will be shared among clients. Every effort will be
made to keep expenses to a bare minimum.
Absolutely!
Speaker bureaus typically charge a commission of 25% of a speaker’s fee.
I am willing to pay this commission to anyone who refers a client to me
resulting in a full-fee speaking booking! So, if you know of someone that could
benefit from
technology talks
that are informative, fun and
user-friendly, please help me
and I will send
you the commission!
Can't accept referral
money? I will donate your referral finder's fee to your favorite charity in your
name.
I will bring an introduction customized to your group and to
the specific topic as standard procedure. This will be printed in a large font
for easy reading. I can also email this in advance if desired.
