- If recording is approved, ensure ample time for sound checks to avoid projection interference.
- All recordings and photos must be provided to Key Steps within 10 business days. Sharon also reserves the right to photograph the session for online or print use.
Promotion of Event
- If needed, the organizer and Key Steps will collaborate on event promotion via social media, websites, and email.
- Sharon can provide photos, bio, key talking points, and a custom pre-event video upon request.
Tech & AV
- Presentation Setup: Sharon uses custom fonts, layouts, and animations, so she runs her presentation from her ASUS laptop (HDMI output). She brings all adapters and is ready to plug in.
- ClickShare Compatibility: If using Barco ClickShare, ensure the dongle has the latest software/extension pack. Sharon also keeps her ClickShare desktop app updated.
- Laptop Placement: Her laptop must be at the front with her for easy access, as she adapts content based on audience engagement.
- Microphone Preference: Sharon prefers a Countryman (headset) or lavalier mic. A wireless handheld is a last resort. No mic is needed for audiences under 50.
- Screen Positioning: Whenever possible, projectors/screens should be off to the side, not center stage.
- Seating Arrangement: For smaller audiences, round tables (6–10 people) are preferred; larger audiences will be theatre-style.
- Tech Check & Breaks: A 20–30 min soundcheck is ideal. Please allow a 10–15 min break before her session to switch equipment and reset the stage.
- Event Flexibility: Sharon will adjust timing as needed. A visible stage clock is helpful.
- Meet & Greet: Sharon is happy to meet attendees, preferably before her session.
Travel Arrangements & Dietary Requirements
- The organizer covers all reasonable travel expenses, including airfare/train fare, airport transfers, and local transport.
- Sharon holds UK and RSA passports. If a visa is needed, the organizer must arrange it via a suitable agent and cover costs.
- Sharon’s team can handle travel bookings, reimbursed in advance with a 50% deposit on the speaking fee.
- Flights: Economy is fine, but for flights over 5 hours with next-day presentations, business class is preferred.
- Accommodation: A quiet, non-smoking room near the venue, guaranteed for late arrival, with reliable Wi-Fi.
- Meals: If dining with your team, please note Sharon avoids gluten and dairy.
- A detailed schedule (arrival, presentation, and activities) and all relevant contact numbers must be provided at least 2 days before the event.
Introduction
Sharon has a 1-minute intro video showcasing her credentials, which should be played before her session. The emcee can give a brief handover to the video.
If a short spoken intro is needed, we can provide one in advance.
