Before the Presentation

Have pre-recordings of demos. With a pre-recorded version of the entire presentation on a computer rental from Santa Ana, you have a failsafe if there are problems with any of the venue’s tech.

Bring backups of the tech. Many a presenter has found themselves interminably stalled for minor issues. Even if your hardware is to be provided, have your own. Have a laptop rental from Anaheim with duplicates of all the digital media from your laptop ready. Have the presentation on backup drives and in the cloud. Have a projector, cables, clicker, portable speakers.

Know who the A/V person is well beforehand. Speak with them and get an idea of what they plan to do to support your presentation. Treat them well and they’re likely to put extra effort into your needs.

At the Presentation

Get there early, set up and test the equipment to make sure everything’s a go. Establish the best places to stand and where your notes will be.

Run through the entire presentation. Get comfortable with the surroundings. The lights will likely be dimmed so make sure you can see everything you need to.

Double check all your media. You want to be sure your laptop rental Los Angeles won’t have a problem with any of your files.

Landlines vs. International Prepaid Cell Phones

August 19th, 2011 | Category: Telecommunication

Do you often travel internationally? Is business travel to another country in your regular routine? Then you should consider purchasing a prepaid international sim card. When traveling to other countries, only a handful of options exist for placing phone calls back to the states. Cell phones do not generally work overseas, since most carriers have towers only locally in the United States. As soon as you leave the country, your service will drop and you will be unable to call family and friends.

Landline-based phone systems allow you to place calls to domestic contacts, and the quality is typically very high compared to other alternatives. However, this quality comes at a price, and they are typically very expensive. Not only are you charged for placing an overseas phone call, the person receiving your call must also pick up the hefty bill as a result. This can be seen as discourteous and should be avoided. International prepaid sim cards configured to work overseas can save you a lot of hassle when it comes to making domestic calls. They tend to be less expensive than standard landlines, and give you the option of using a portable phone.

A more recent alternative to landlines is voice over internet protocol (VOIP). This technological standard has given rise to the existence of VOIP services, which give consumers the ability to speak for a flat rate over the internet. While this service is significantly less expensive than both landlines and international prepaid cell phones, the quality is lacking in comparison. In many ways, cell phones with prepaid sim cards offer the best benefits and have the fewest drawbacks when it comes to enabling you to place important calls overseas.

This will save you a ton of money. In most business travel expenses are allocated so any money saved is yours to spend. The savings can either be channeled to keeping in touch with your family or spent on other expenses during travel.

In order to use a SIM card such as this, it will be better to use a world phone. World phones operate on all the current frequencies of the gsm standard. Most phones by default are either dual band or tri-band (the old world phone standard). Now quad band is what you will need to travel and have service in all other countries with their own GSM networks.

These phones are compatible across a range of countries and come with prepaid credit. This has many advantages. Firstly, it is prepaid, this prevents excessive usage since you can no longer make any calls once the credit is over. Secondly, in cases where the phone is stolen or lost, the damage can be limited.

In short, when roaming consider one of the above options, It will save you time, hassle and most importantly of all: money.
