    Prep Your Speakers for AV Success (and Fewer Tech Headaches)

    By Laurel Miller | Event Production | 0 comment | 1 May, 2025 | 1

    Welcome to the first post in our three-part series created to help your conference speakers arrive confident, prepared, and presentation-ready. This guidance is especially critical for breakout sessions, where presenters often don’t have the luxury of a dedicated AV tech at their side—and where a few small issues can quickly derail the session.

    This first post focuses on an essential but often-overlooked step: helping your presenters build slide decks that are compatible with your AV setup.

    Most speakers don’t consider technical challenges when creating their presentations. They’re focused on content (as they should be!)—but without a little guidance up front, they can unknowingly introduce issues that only reveal themselves minutes before showtime. That’s where you come in.

    Share This Now, Save Time Onsite

    To help you support your speakers, we’ve created a simple, downloadable infographic you can send as soon as they’re confirmed—ideally before they build their slides, or at least with time to make necessary adjustments. It’s a one-page, easy-to-read reference designed to prevent common AV issues and give your presenters peace of mind.
