Did they hear what I said? Is this thing on?

When planning a meeting there many challenges that must be addressed to ensure a successful program before the first guest ever takes a seat.

What is the purpose of the meeting? Is there a common message, theme or communication strategy? How will you measure the effectiveness of the program? And then there is marketing, registration, transportation, venue logistics, confidentiality & security, content development, technology support and of course attendees return on experience to name a few.

Presenting to an audience can be intimidating. There are three very important keys to take into consideration.

• Content: 7% of what you say is retained by they attendee.
• Tonality: 38% of your presentation success will rely on tonality and pitch.
• Physiology: 55% is in your body language.

To engage an audience, 45% of what you are presenting is dependent upon pristine, intelligible verbal communication. Selecting the best technology that will support you will be imperative.

The Right AV Equipment for Your Event 

Have you ever been to a meeting where the microphones cut out or you had intermittent interference causing the keynote speaker to lose the attention of the guests? This is a presentation nightmare for the meeting stakeholder, planner and attendees.

This scenario is also avoidable with the right technology.

IMS Technology Services can help select the right audio visual equipment to ensure that your message is effectively heard.  Many clients have been using a new, state-of-the-art digital microphone system that optimizes the sound and provides unmatched security for your content that may be proprietary or sensitive.  Key features include:

• Advanced (AES) 256 Encryption that is privacy secure and unbreachable. No more worries of someone listening in on the radio frequencies you are assigning to the wireless microphone system during a meeting.
• High Density Mode optimizes the system and reduces bandwidth, ultimately providing 3 times the amount of usable frequencies. This dramatic improvement is most important in cities like New York or Washington D.C. where buildings are over-saturated and hotels that have multiple meetings in ballrooms are all using wireless microphone systems that are competing for bandwidth.
• Transparent 24-Bit Digital Audio delivers the purest reproduction of sound quality from a speaker's voice than any other microphone system available. Using digital transmission, you now have superior clarity and audio quality.

Planning a meeting or presentation can be challenging at times. Be sure to choose the best tools to deliver your message the way you intended it to, with impact!
