The day of a speaking event can get hectic, so I use a checklist to make sure I don’t forget something critical!
Speaker Checklist:
- Confirm time/location/agenda/AV set up
- Presentation Notes
- Equipment (computer, cords, remote, flash drive, etc.)
- Clothing (jacket on hanger), back-up clothing
- Introduction (for person introducing you—large font, name phonetically spelled)
- Cell phone
- Contact phone numbers
- Map to location
- Handouts (bring some, even if the host is making copies)
- Props
- Water bottle
- Timing device (I use an app on my phone/iPad)
- List sign up (newsletter)/lead form
- Camera/batteries/tripod (if recording)
- Give away item(s)
- Business cards
- Promotional Materials
- Items to sell
- Cash for change, credit card processing
- Thank you follow-up to host
