A/V Requirements:

Scott requests a lavalier microphone (or wireless handheld if no lavalier is available), projector, screen, and back-up laptop. If the room is large enough and Scott is delivering an interactive, training session, he requests a second handheld microphone for audience participation. If he will be conducting a book signing, he requests a table from 4′ to 8′ preferably to be placed in the back of the room or just outside of the room where he is speaking.

For virtual events, Scott can work with your technology to provide either a live video presentation from his home studio–or a pre-recorded video session customized to your group. If prerecorded, he will join “live” as a participant while it is played for your group–asking and answering questions by written comments to keep your audience engaged and learning while the video plays. (This format has been a big hit during Covid, when people are longing for this level of engagement during video meetings! Contact us to see how this works!)
