Speaking Event Equipment Needs
I’m excited to speak to your group soon! To make sure I’m able to focus on my message when I arrive, I find it helpful to communicate equipment needs ahead of time. If any of these aren’t feasible for your particular group or venue, please let me know. I will happily adjust accordingly! (P.S. - I highly recommend selecting the option "Send me a copy of my responses" at the bottom of this form, so you have these items to reference later.)

Event Name and Date *
Podium: When speaking, I find it helpful to have a podium of some kind to set my notes on. If possible, a small table or stand is also helpful to keep bottled water and any props I might bring. Is this feasible? *
Microphone: For groups larger than 15 attendees or for groups meeting in a large space, I find it helpful to have a microphone to make sure my voice is heard without strain. I’m happy to use either a handheld or wireless mic, whichever is available. If applicable, please let me know your microphone setup: *
Projection Screen/PowerPoint: I love providing visuals during my talks through the use of slides. This works best when I can connect to a projection screen of some kind. I’ll bring my slides in both a PowerPoint and Keynote file so I can be flexible with whatever technology works best. If you prefer to run the slides from your own computer/tech setup, I’ll bring a thumb drive. I’m also happy to transition slides using my iPad on stage. Is a projection screen feasible? *
If a projection screen is feasible, please let me know your technology setup, particularly whether you prefer to control the slides at the back of the room, or if I should plan on transitioning them from the stage: *
Book Table: If we’ve agreed to a book table, I’ll bring all the sales materials – books, pricing signs, payment, etc. I typically bring multiple copies of at least two of my books, along with other cards and materials, so a medium-sized table is best. If you have a larger group (20+), I find it helpful to have someone behind the table with me so I can talk with attendees. If you’d like me to be available to sign books, it’s also helpful to have a tall stool or table with a chair near the book table. If applicable, please let me know your anticipated book table setup: *
