John makes it high priority to be sure all the details are carefully planned and will coordinate with the meeting planning professionals a rehearsal time to test equipment and staging. John is very flexible in setting up a rehearsal time that works well within the agenda of your meeting.
John has specific preferences on audio visual equipment but is very flexible in using what is cost reasonable. Generally , John needs a computer projection unit (LCD projector), a screen and a wireless clip-on microphone (depending on size of venue). John provides his own laptop for PowerPoint, handouts and other materials needed for his presentation. Any additional equipment needed will be discussed in a pre-planning call.
John will request an estimated headcount of participants about one-week before the event to estimate the number of handouts to provide.
Upon request, we will be glad to make available copies of John’s books, Silent Alarm and Good to the Core for sale in the back of the room at your event. John never refers to products being available as a part of his presentation. Notification of availability must be made by the emcee or meeting planner. Volume discounts are available, based on quantity, if a meeting planning professional decides to pre-purchase a book for each participant.
