Importance of the venue








          Layout



          The importance of the room’s layout cannot be underestimated. Layout is composed of a

          variety of aspects—size, coloring, lighting, position of power points, doorways, work sur-
          faces, and any refreshment facilities. As the presenter your main concern is how these
          things impact your ability to perform.

          This is easiest to control when you are giving a standalone presentation, but there are
          things you can do in other situations. It is a good idea to arrive early to familiarize your-
          self with the set up and decide how best to work within the constraints you have. As the
          presenter you are by default in control of the room so make sure you remove any dis-
          tractions—for example, by closing open doors or windows that might otherwise divert
          people’s attention.

             You should pay particular attention to the position where you will present from and the
             location of any support equipment. By standing in this position you can check the line of
             sight to your audience.

             Are there any barriers that might prevent your audience seeing you clearly, such

             as columns or projection equipment? If so, can you alter the position of these
             obstacles or the seating arrangement?
