A conference lives or dies on whether delegates can hear the speakers and see the slides. Get the AV right and the day feels professional and effortless. Here's what to plan for.
Sound and microphones
You need even sound across the whole room so no one strains to listen. Plan a lectern mic for presenters, lapel mics for panellists, and roving handheld mics for audience questions during Q&A.
Screens and projection
Slides and video need to be readable from the back row. A bright projector works in a controlled room; for large or bright venues, an LED screen is clearer. For big rooms, a live camera feed to the screens helps delegates at the back see the speaker.
Staging, lighting and recording
A raised stage and lectern with good lighting makes keynotes look the part. If you want to share the sessions afterwards, plan for recording or live streaming from the start.
A technician on the day
The single best investment is a dedicated AV technician who manages sound, slides and screens throughout, so presenters just plug in and speak. JMG Audio supplies the whole package, technician included.
