What are the secrets to hosting a successful business meeting? While it may be daunting to stand up in front of a room full of business professionals to give a presentation, there are certain keys to leaving your audience with a lasting impression. Be organized, be prepared and have seamless audio visual integration.
Be Organized
There is no worse feeling that speaking in front of a crowd when your notes or your visuals are unorganized. Not only will it throw off the presenter, the crowd may become uninterested and lose focus. It’s vital to practice your presentation beforehand and make sure everything is in order before the day of the event.
Be Prepared
Go into the meeting with a clear focus. What is it that you want to achieve? If you go in with a goal in mind, it will help you prepare to achieve the goal and stay on track.
It’s also a good idea to anticipate questions. Members of the audience may ask about certain topics covered during the presentation or more general questions about your company or your goals.
Have Seamless AV Integration
We live in a world where technology rules. Make sure your audience is able to connect on their laptops, smartphones or tablets and provide them with high-quality audio and visual. If the people in the back of the room can’t hear or see your presentation, chances of success are slim. This is why it’s important to hire a well-trained audio visual team!

Pro Tips For Event Presentations
Worried that your next event won’t go as smoothly as you’d like it to? We understand that putting on a presentation in a room full of people can be stressful, so we’ve put together some pro tips to help you out. See below and be sure to watch our latest YouTube video to learn more!
Pro Tip #1 – CONFIDENCE MONITORS
The most well-rehearsed, and well-informed presentations can appear sloppy and uncoordinated if you are turning your back to the audience, leaving the microphone, and pausing to refer to slides on a screen behind you.
Adding a confidence monitor to your layout will allow the ability to refer to your slides and notes directly in front of you, having constant access to your content without ever showing the crowd your bad side.
Pro Tip #2 – STAGING
A panel or two of staging in a smaller venue can be crucial for turning an intimate room into a bona fide event space.
Restaurants and other public meeting places are great for creating a unique and memorable experience for your audience; our staging will ensure that the experience is effective, as well. Plan your event in your favorite locations with confidence, knowing that your voice will be heard, and your face seen.
