Preferred Room Setup

• A raised platform or stage that provides the audience an unobstructed view of Doug during his presentation.

• A wireless, hands-free microphone.  This microphone needs to connect to the room’s speaker system or independent audio equipment.  Speakers located in front and also behind the audience are recommended.  Please test all audio equipment prior to Doug’s arrival.

• A standard microphone with stand.  This also needs to connect to the room’s speaker system or independent audio equipment.

• A small table.

• A separate light source/spotlight for the stage will help with keeping the audience’s focus on Doug during his presentation.

• Using a dark backdrop on the stage will help accentuate the presenter during the event.

• Please do not overseat the room.  If you are planning on presenting to 50 people, set chairs for only 50 (or even fewer).  This will force the audience to fill all of the seats, including the front row.  The front row should be no further than 10 ft. from the stage.

• If possible, the room should be set up horizontally with chairs staggered instead of directly behind each other.  This will offer a better view to the audience and allow Doug to connect with the audience more easily.
