  1. Laptop. Dan prefers to present using his own PC laptop which already has all of his audio and video clips pre-loaded. He just needs you to provide the HDMI hook-up. Or, he can provide his slides in PPT format along with all associated audio and video files to be presented on your laptop. An internet connection is NOT required.
  2. Sound. Dan’s presentations contain sound clips. Sound is typically plugged in through the headphone jack of his laptop. A sound check before the speech is strongly recommended.
  3. Microphone. Dan requires the ability to move around the stage, so a wireless microphone is critical. Lavalier, headset, or countryman microphones all work well.
  4. Confidence Monitor. Dan strongly prefers to see his slides while facing forward. Viewing the next slide is optional. A countdown timer is preferred but not required.
  5. Slide Advancer (“Clicker”). Dan can use his own or one provided by your team.
  6. Podium. Dan does not use a podium. It is best if there is no podium on stage, but he can definitely work around one if necessary.
