This recently happened to my NSA colleague, Dianna Booher, CSP, CPAE. As she clicked on the one and only slide that the audience really needed to see (versus the other humorous ones), the computer froze. The remote would not move it backward or forward. She strolled to the keyboard itself and click it. No luck. Fortunately, the A/V crew appeared from behind the stage immediately to handle the situation.
They rebooted – which probably took a few minutes. Not surprisingly, she continued her presentation without skipping a beat because she’s a pro. And as a pro, her slides simply supported the message; they were not the message.
Can you successfully give your presentation when the A/V goes out?
Dianna explains this and other A/V maladies and remedies in her recent blog posting. Check it out!
