A/V Requirements

Below is a checklist that will ensure the best audience experience of Tucker’s program. Please share this list with your Meeting Planner and AV Contact Person. If you encounter a challenge with any of the following requests, please contact us right away so that we can fix it in advance of your program.

As part of the engagement, the Client and the Speaker agree to the following terms:

The Client will provide the room setup and necessary audiovisual equipment including:

• lavalier mic with a magnetic clip
• video projector
• confidence monitor or place for laptop to be line-of-sight
• professional sound system

PLEASE NOTE: Because of Tucker’s stage attire, a lavalier mic with a magnetic clip is the ideal option. If that isn’t available, a standard lavalier will work just fine. Headset or over-the-ear microphones are not a good fit for his presentation style.

The Speaker will run the presentation from the house computer and does not need a live Internet connection for the presentation.

The Speaker will include the Client’s logo on the introductory slide but does not use Client-provided slide templates. Speaker will deliver each presentation via PowerPoint slides with a 16:9 ratio. Slides will be emailed three days in advance.

The Speaker and Client will meet at least 60 minutes prior to the Event for an A/V and sound check, unless mutually agreed otherwise. During the sound check, the Speaker will also meet with the person introducing him. During the presentation, all podiums, chairs, stools, stands, etc. should be moved to either side of the stage. The Speaker does not use a podium during the presentation.

If the presentation is being held during a meal, it is preferable that food consumption is over and that all dishes are cleared prior to the presentation.

As renowned poets do, Tucker selects his stage attire in alignment with his brand and typically wears a black mock neck short-sleeve shirt, black jeans, and minimalist white shoes. He is happy to select different attire whenever an event’s dress code dictates it. Please be sure to let us know of any specific preferences.
