Logistics and AV Requirements

Working with Jim Bearden is like having an enthusiastic member on your team. His goal is to make the meeting planner shine and leave the participants filled with new insights and enthusiasm. Here's how he does it:

1. You can count on Jim to arrive EARLY for his presentation. Typically, Jim arrives at the hotel the day/evening before he presents. He will call  the meeting planner upon check in.

2. Jim will then find the appropriate time to scout out his meeting room and meet with the AV people if necessary.

3. Early to bed, early to rise! For optimal performance, Jim will call it an early night. He enjoys meeting the participants the evening before an event but do not expect him to stay late.

4. When possible, Jim will attend the events of the meeting prior to his presentation to glean any last bits of information that could be assimilated into his presentation.

5. After a presentation, Jim is available for an autograph session where he can answer questions while he signs his books. Please have a table available in the back of the room OR directly outside of the meeting room.

AV Requirements:

1. Jim prefers a wireless lavaliere microphone, he is quite active on stage and prefers to have his hands free.

2. Most presentations are accompanied by the use of PowerPoint. Jim prefers to use your laptop on site and emails his slides in advance (he always travels with a back up).

3. Audio/Video taping is permitted with a prior written authorization.

Travel:

1. Jim travels coach and we do our best to find the most economical flights. We typically book travel 2-3 weeks out as Jim's schedule is ever changing and booking further in advance may only result in change penalty charges.

2. Please reserve a room for Jim at the host hotel. Jim's preference is a non-smoking king room.

3. Travel expenses include the following: air, hotel, dining, ground transportation and parking

Enjoy Your Time with Jim and Thank You!!
