Great care must be taken when trimming the conference budget NOT to skimp on
the critical items. If you are comparing prices, remember, you must compare like
with like. In most cases cheaper solutions are less effective.
Consider Music Requirements
Music is an important part of any presentation. Well chosen background music builds atmosphere and
energy as your audience assembles. It doesn't have to be too loud. Fading the music out also acts as a
cue that the presentation is about to start - the audience will naturally turn their attention to the front of the
room. Music can be used to create a mood of anticipation, or to build a climax.
Take care that any background music does not overpower the presenter’s words. Remember an older
audience cannot sort music from voice as well as can a younger audience.
Turn the room lights down a little to add atmosphere and make your screen graphics stand out. Adding
some coloured lighting to wash the stage area and some spots or background lighting to feature product
displays or logos will make an enormous difference to your presentation.
Effective lighting is an art form, colour and intensity are important. There are also technical
considerations – power consumption and excessive heat being the most important. AV Corporate will
help you choose effective lighting within the limits of your budget.
