Technical guidelines for making Lisa’s session powerful and memorable

Lisa will help your audience reach higher performance goals, navigate big transitions with greater ease, focus on high-reward priorities, and position their organization for long-term success. Here are guidelines to ensure your conference or workshop will run smoothly and efficiently.

  • Lisa will bring her own computer and VGA adapter to the event. She uses a Windows (Dell) laptop running PowerPoint software. Her presentation does not run on any other computer but hers.
  • Please provide a standard VGA cable.
  • Standard audio out is also required, as Lisa may choose to include relevant videos for the session. AC power should be within six feet of the computer.
  • Please ask your Audio Visual team to set up the screens to allow for a 16:9 widescreen presentation format display.
  • For any group more than 25 people, Lisa will need a wireless clip-on microphone with a belt pack. Please be sure that you have tested it on all areas of the stage for volume and for feedback. Please avoid providing her with a handheld microphone or a podium microphone.
  • If you will be using iMag, which projects an image of the speaker on several large screens, it must be set up so that least one screen shows nothing but Lisa’s slides, while one or more carry the image of Lisa speaking to the audience.
  • Lisa’s uses a remote control during the presentation. The laptop should be set up within sight and no more than 20 feet of the most distant point where she will be standing. Please place this on a table, not a podium.
  • Lisa’s laptop stays in her possession at all times. She cannot surrender it to your team on the day of the event. She always schedules time to work with your team for an AV check. We recommend that the sound check is completed at least 2-4 hours before she takes the stage to ensure all is working well.

We also provide AI guidelines in our speaker agreement. You will find them below. Please review these carefully before your conference:

AI Use and Likeness Protection
Organizer may not use, reproduce, or simulate Lisa Nirell’s name, image, likeness, voice, or performance with any form of artificial intelligence, machine learning, voice cloning, deepfake, or similar technology without prior written consent.

This includes any AI-generated or altered photos, videos, audio, or promotional materials used online or offline, before or after the event. All rights to Lisa Nirell’s likeness and identity remain exclusively with Lisa.

This clause applies in all media and territories worldwide and survives the termination or completion of the Speaker Agreement in perpetuity.
Any unauthorized use will be considered a material breach and may result in legal action, including injunctive relief and damages.

Additional suggestions to optimize your event impact:

  • Lisa will provide you with a brief intro prior to the event. This helps ensure the introduction goes smoothly and all details are accurate and confirmed. Please ensure that whoever will be introducing her has reviewed the intro and reviews it at least thirty minutes prior to the start of her presentation. Ask them to read the intro verbatim-no storytelling or additional background needed.
  • Please request that no flash photos are taken during Lisa’s presentation including from event photographers. Flash photos are fine before and after the presentation.
  • Lisa is happy to provide a copy of her slides following her session. Please coordinate with Lisa prior to the event date. In addition, if agreed in advance, you can record the session for internal, non-resale distribution with a high-quality copy to Lisa within 30 days following the event.
  • Giving attendees the chance to connect with Lisa and other audience members, to share thoughts and discuss the presentation creates a great energy as well as a break before the next presentation. Fifteen minutes is generally ample.
  • Please provide Lisa with any event hashtags and other social page links as needed prior to the event. Upon request, she will do her best to promote your conference on her social pages. Photos of Lisa speaking, quotes from the presentation and video can also be used on Lisa’s social pages to help promote and market the event.
  • Please remind the audience of any social Internet hashtags, event social pages, etc. These help drive social conversations and activity.
  • The size of your audience will drive Q&A scheduling and timing. If your group is larger than 50, please gather audience questions in advance. They can either present to the moderator in advance or present in line following the event.
