For Event Planners & Meeting Professionals

For events within a reasonable driving distance from Toronto, Marc will drive to the presentation himself. For locations beyond driving range, transportation and lodging arrangements will be made.

• Marc’s speaking fees include all incidental expenses and ground transportation.*
• Marc will make travel arrangements himself with airfare being added to the invoice prior to the event*
• Air travel is booked from Pearson International Airport or Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport unless otherwise specified
• Flights over 4 hours may be booked on an upgraded class
• Hotel accommodations to be booked by the event organizer
• Overnight accommodations may be required based on travel time, presentation schedule, or weather and are decided on a per situation basis. 
• For out of town events, Marc will typically arrive the day before the event to meet with organizers, the AV team, and survey the facility. Depending on the time of the presentation, a second night may also be required.

*When booked outside of a bureau. Some conditions apply.

In order to put on the very best presentation possible, Marc asks for the following items to be provided:

STAGE

• A well lit stage area
• A small table on stage with a bottle of water

AV AND COMPUTER

• A wireless lavaliere or headset microphone
• LCD projector set for 16:9 with HDMI connection cables
• Projection screen large enough to be seen by the audience
• A comfort monitor facing the stage or ability to use Marc’s personal laptop
• A wireless remote for controlling presentation slides
• If AV is managed by a third party company on site, the presentation file will be provided as an PowerPoint file. If needed, Marc can run the presentation from his MacBook.
• No wi-fi required

By default, Marc will bring his presentation on a Mac laptop with a slide remote unless instructed otherwise. All presentation slides are done with PowerPoint. If you would prefer the slides be loaded from your own computer or that of the AV team, please let Marc know.
Access to the stage and AV team for a sound check and rehearsal prior to the presentation is required.

Depending on the format of the event, an intro audio mp3 file is also provided. This can be played by the AV technician or embedded into the PowerPoint file.

Depending on the time and location of the event, Marc may need to change into presentation attire. Please ensure there is a private room available for this.

For some presentations, handouts that contain key points or used as accompanying work sheets may be provided to attendees. These are co-branded for your event. Based on the type of presentation and event, handouts may be printed by Marc, provided to you as a file allowing you print them, or made available for download before or after the event. Any printing costs are invoiced separately.

Saying something nice about someone you hardly know can be a tough job. So Marc did it for you. It is an editable Word file, so you can easily add more nice things should you feel inclined.
