12 Secrets of Great Presentations - Seat Audience in Best Way

http://www.globalchange.com Secrets of successful presentations. Make sure audience seating is well laid out offering maximum intimacy with the speaker as well as excellent viewing of screen and stage area. Many venues are unsuitable for the event planned – pillars, architectural features, ceiling too low, lighting very poor, no room for back projection, acoustics poor, room too long and thin, too large or too small for ideal audience seating arrangement. Ensure stage area is properly lit. Professional lighting is vital for larger corporate events. Make sure speaker able to move without stepping out of light. Make sure projector is very bright and screen surface is kept dark. Make sure speaker knows where he or she can go while still being well seen.

If there is no performance, then the audience sees only a boring version of how the person would normally communicate sitting in a chair in their own home.
