For Meeting Planners > You Have Booked Linda - Now What? >

We understand that every room is different in size, configuration and lighting. And Linda's requests might not be appropriate for your situation. Linda would love to speak to your meeting planner to discuss ways to maximize your particular setting.

Riser
Raised platform (approximately 8'x8') if audience exceeds 65 people. If you have the option, Linda has found it more effective if the platform is as close to the front row as possible, preferably between 5-10 feet.

Small table
(approximately 2'x2') instead of a podium on the platform for drinking water and laptop.

If it is necessary to have a podium or a head table on the platform in order to facilitate the needs of the previous or following speaker, please have them moved to the back of the platform for Linda's presentation. Linda needs as much free space at the front of the platform as possible.

Chair set-up
During Linda's presentation, she may ask the attendees to stand and participate in an exercise. If it is possible, please set up chair rows with a minimum of an extra 6 inches between the rows.

Lighting
Room lighting is very important. Linda is quite demonstrative on stage and in order for your attendees to be able to fully appreciate her presentation, adequate lighting is crucial. Please avoid placing her in front of a window where outside lighting would create a silhouette effect. And while lighting on Linda needs to be bright, lighting on the LCD screen needs to be subdued. Too much lighting on the screen will prevent the PowerPoint presentation from being seen. Your efforts to balance the room lighting will be greatly appreciated by Linda and your audience. We are happy to discuss this with you further if you have any questions.
