The Right Setup Ensures The Optimal Learning Experience

Even the greatest sales training or keynote can lose effectiveness when the room set-up isn’t optimal.  To help ensure that Howard’s program hits your target and brings maximum benefit of your audience, please review the A/V requests below and let us know if there are any challenges.  Howard is flexible and will work with your A/V capabilities and your technicians to maximize the effectiveness of your platform.  On request, Howard can supply sound system, wireless mics and projection equipment if required.

Room Environment:

A bright room or stage will help keep the audience focused to the front of the room.   Howard will utilize the entire stage or room area so please leave space to the front of the stage and between tables.  People are more alert in brightness.  Dim the lighting on the screens but keep the house lights up full.

Temperature:

A cool room produces an alert audience; a warm room produces a drowsy audience. A cold room produces a distracted audience, and a hot room produces an irritated audience. The actual room temperature should be somewhere between 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit, 20-21 degrees Celcius.

Equipment:

• Wireless lavaliere microphone for groups over 50
• LCD projector (2000 lumens minimum) and 10’ X 10’  to 12′ X 12′ Screen
• Sound system with auxiliary input for iPod
• Howard will provide a “play list” for your technician to follow.

Staging For Keynotes:

• If possible, set the room up theatre or classroom style with two side aisles and no center aisle.
• Position the first row about five to six feet from the stage.
• Position stage to the middle of the front wall of the room with steps off the front.
• Stage size and height appropriate for room size.
• One chair on stage.
• A small, draped table on side of stage for water and miscellaneous items.

Seating For Workshops:

• If possible, set the room up with quarter or half round tables of 4 to 6 people per table and no backs to the screen.
• Position the screen to the center of the front wall of the room.
• Stage size or riser height appropriate for room size where necessary.
• One chair at the front of room left of the screen.
• A small, draped table against front wall left of screen for water and miscellaneous items.
