Tools of My Trade

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to keep a conference running smooth behind the scenes—this is it.

1) Run of Show
My master blueprint: a detailed, day-by-day list of every action, transition, and moment that has to happen to keep the experience seamless.

2) Cue Cards
We prepped the emcee with speaker bios + a compact “mini” run of show so intros stayed sharp, on-time, and on-brand.

3) Lavaliers + Handhelds
We had 2 lav mics + 2 handhelds ready to go—covering speakers, the emcee, and audience Q&A without scrambling.

4) Clicker
Because speakers deserve control. This let them advance their own slides and stay in their flow.

5) One Master Slide Deck
We merged every presentation into one master file, adding a GPT-branded cover slide before each speaker—so transitions were clean and the brand stayed consistent all day.

This is what “professional” looks like when nobody’s watching.
