Introductions (& 'Outro'ductions) at Events

Frederika tends to tailor these to each specific event but will provide you / your 'Emcee' with a written 'Intro' and 'Outro' prior to the event.

 

Equipment / Practicalities



  • To avoid compatibility issues, it is best if Frederika can bring her own (Windows 8) laptop, which has both a standard VGA connection and an HDMI connection.

  • A data projector and large projection screen in a location that won't be affected by excessive daylight and is visible to all audience members is required.

  • Depending on the size of the venue (typically for audiences over 30 if sitting 'cabaret' style or over 80 if sitting 'theatre' style), a good quality wireless lapel microphone is required.  A good quality wireless hand-held microphone can be used as an alternative but please advise Frederika of this beforehand as it will affect her movements on stage.

  • For interactive presentations/workshops, Frederika plays music from her iPod and will require a connection to a sound/PA system (or she can bring her own speaker for smaller venues).

  • A multi-socket power/extension lead to plug in the laptop and iPod speaker base is required.


Additionally:

  • A small table in a a position visible to Frederika to place her laptop on

  • Pens & paper for event attendees

  • A jug or small bottle of ambient temperature still water with a glass

  • Where hand-outs/worksheets are required as part of the presentation/workshop, Frederika will e-mail these ahead of the event and will need enough copies to be printed for all attendees.


Any variations to the above and/or specifics for any given event must be confirmed in writing prior to the event, to avoid last-minute disruptions to the smooth-running of the event.

Please feel free to call Frederika on +44 7984 80 66 51 if you have any questions.
