Corporate Event Planning | Before the Event
Travel & Arrival
I do not speak on the same day I travel. To deliver the highest-quality experience for your audience, I arrive the day before—either morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on the location.
I live in Kansas City, Missouri, and I personally handle all of my travel arrangements unless your event requires using a specific conference travel platform.
Pre-Event Coordination | Corporate Event Planning
My goal is to make your experience easy, predictable, and professional. Before the event, I will:
- Work closely with you to understand your audience, the theme of your event, your objectives, and what success looks like for you.
- Customize my message so that your audience receives practical, actionable, and relevant value.
- Complete any required pre-event calls, planning sessions, or Q&A with your team.
This ensures the keynote or workshop is tailored to the people in the room—and aligns perfectly with the outcomes you want.
AV, Sound, and Technical Requirements
If your event includes my Lead Loud keynote, I will arrive early to work with your AV team. This keynote includes:
- 4K video
- High-quality sound
- Live guitar or musical elements (if included)
- Integration of pre-recorded cameos from well-known musicians
These cameos appear live to the audience, but they must be recorded ahead of time. The musician announces your event name and company, which requires coordination and a short rehearsal to match your show flow.
A full technical overview is available on the Sound & AV Requirements page.
