We understand that you have invested a great deal of time and money into your event, and would like to offer you some suggestions to make sure you receive the maximum return possible on your investment. Often times the slightest changes in ambiance and staging will greatly affect the outcome of a speaker's presentation. The following suggestions are what we believe will create the best experience.
AV Requirements
Ms Nichols uses a LAVALIERE MICROPHONE. Wireless is preferable, but not mandatory. Please make sure that the AV department has a back-up microphone available at all times. As well as a mic runner on hand. Our suggestion would be to have someone from your group assigned to the microphone system should any adjustments be needed for volume, bass, feedback, etc.
Our team will provide you with a promotional DVD to use to introduce Ms. Nichols Please also provide a 6' draped table for her to place and organize any materials on product she may reference from the stage.

Tips & Suggestions
Theater or classroom seating is preferable, in chevron style seating. We understand that when planned on or around a meal, this is not possible.
When the room is rectangular, please have your stage positioned in the center of the long wall. This assists greatly in creating intimacy between your audience and anyone who is on stage.
For the benefit of your audience, and Ms. Nichols, please request from the hotel or auditorium management that the meeting room have no distracting noise from an adjoining room, such as a singing group, rock band, etc. during the time Ms. Nichols is presenting her keynote or seminar.
It is difficult to build intimacy and rapport if your audience is still eating. Please instruct the banquet staff to clear up AFTER the speaker's presentation.
When a photographer is present, please ask them to refrain from taking photos the first 15 minutes of the program. This can be distracting to the speaker and audience.
Please make sure the room is well lit especially the staging area. People remember more and laugh more in bright rooms. Ms. Nichols prefers to see the faces of the audience. This allows her to see how they are responding to her presentation and connect more with her audience which is very important to her.
Scheduling Concerns
It is not a good idea to have your main speaker the last day of a conference when your participants have been up late the night before.
An extended cocktail party is not a good start for your audience, or your speaker. To get the most from your investment of Ms. Nichols presentation, consider changing the schedule to maximize her message and the response from the audience.
Please do not have awards or lengthy announcements immediately following Ms. Nichols's presentation. This tends to diffuse the energy and message Ms. Nichols has just left with your group. Consider having these announcements first, or taking a break following her presentation, especially if you have had her speaking for more than one hour. This break will also give her the opportunity to meet and shake hands with your attendees during the break following her presentation.
