PRESENTATION FORMAT
Justine's presentation relies on having the right audio and visual setup. To that point, Justine brings her own laptop and her own clicker.
Her presentation is on PowerPoint, and she has a spare backup on a USB drive. Justine prefers to have her laptop on stage with her because she may want to make changes on the fly to emphasise points the audience finds valuable.

SOUNDS AND VISUALS
Justine prefers a lapel microphone or headset, preferably not hand-held. Due to her visual slides, a high-definition screen projector will provide an even better experience for the audience.

Please provide a bottle of water.

Daylight or maximum lights to generate the right energy.
