It’s so easy when you’re invited to deliver a presentation to forget to check in advance the venue that you are going to be speaking at in terms of the size of the room, the equipment available and the seating for the audience.

I witnessed this firsthand recently at a business event. It was a big breakfast style event with 180 people squeezed into a rectangular space.

There were a few sponsor type speakers who in return for sponsoring the event had been offered a 5 to 10 minute slot.

I suspect none of them prior to the event checked the equipment that was going to be available to them, particularly in terms of the screen and the microphone.

The screen was a big TV on wheels which was fine if you were sitting close to the where the speaker was standing but for the rest of audience (about 80%) the screen wasn’t within their line of view.

So when the speakers used either slides or videos the vast majority of their audience could not see what they were showing and for the videos the audio was just coming out through the screen.

So check:
Screen size, positioning, video audio and clicker
Microphone
Speaking position in relation to audience.

You also need to check:
How you will be introduced
How any Q&A will work
And how much time you have for your presentation
