Carry a dedicated tech bag with your presentation on a USB drive, a clicker, laptop adapters, and cloud backup. Venues often lack equipment, so multiple backup layers keep your talk from falling apart.

Hey, great people. Just want to give you another speaker tip. Always carry a tech kit with you. All right. A tech bag, whatever you want to call it, but make sure it has tech things in it. So, for example, my tech bag has a USB inside of it to make sure that I have my presentation saved on it. Just in case you arrive at the event and even though you sent the presentation along, there may be some technical difficulties. So having your USB handy and ready to give to the event person to load your presentation just in case. Always have a clicker as well. You want to make sure you have a clicker just in case the event might not have it. Depending on the size of the event or where it's at, they may not have a clicker. So take one just in case. Also have— if you have— if you take your computer, right, whether it's a MacBook or whether it's any other type of computer device, Make sure you have it, but also make sure you have the adapters that go with it. Okay. That's exactly what's in my speaker tech kit bag. So just to make sure I have backups to the backups, I'm just saying. Another one, this is the bonus, is load your presentation up. If you have Office 365, load it up to the cloud just in case you forget your tech bag or you don't have your USB. You still have access to the cloud so they can load your presentation just in case the one you sent doesn't happen. Just saying, it's best to be prepared than to be rushing and trying to figure things out at the last minute. So take your speaker tech bag. Peace.
