How to be the tech crew’s favourite speaker

If you speak at conferences or events as part of your role or business, chances are you’ll encounter the tech crew – those amazing magicians in black who make everything look and sound great, even under intense pressure.

When you’re under the spotlight, it can be easy to overlook the fact that creating an outstanding conference experience is a team effort. How can you make sure you’re a speaker the tech crew loves to work with, partnering smoothly to get the best AV result for your audience and client?


Whether you speak on stage occasionally or every week, you won’t want to miss this 60-minute online session presented by Professional Speakers Australia – PSA.

You’ll get a rare glimpse behind the sound desk, hearing from tech specialist Jared Lattouf about how to create a great technical experience and the traps to avoid.

Jared will chat with self-confessed passionate “gear-head” Troy Love, who’ll bring his own technical insights from more than 10,000 appearances on radio, stage and screen.

As a Board Member for PSA, I’m delighted we’re able to present these regular online sessions. They’re complimentary for Professional Speakers Australia – PSA members and guests are welcome for just $55. You’ll take away:
