V.  ROOM SET-UP REQUESTS

· Wireless lavaliere microphone - Only needed if you expect over 50 attendees or unusually large room

· Oversize projection screen – Ron and Randall prefer to use computer projection software for all of their presentations. They will bring their own computer and projector with them. An oversized screen makes the projected images easier to read, resulting in better retention of ideas.

· A small table in the front of the room - This table will also be used to hold Ron and Randall’s computer and projector.

Additional Tips And Suggestions To Help Maximize Your Meeting Room Set Up:

· To maximize your attendees comfort (and learning opportunities), we suggest you have your attendees seated "class room" style with tables in the shape of a chevron. Round tables are also acceptable if you remove 3 or 4 chairs so all attendees can face forward comfortably.

· If using classroom set up, try placing 2 people to a table rather than 3. This allows your attendees to sit at the table without having to straddle the table legs. Due to the computer projection, it is a great help to have the lighting around the screen area dimmed but maintain full house lights during the program. If there is enough space within the meeting room, keeping the coffee break food and drinks in the back of the room would be greatly appreciated by your attendees.
