Showcalled A’s 4-day annual congress in Salt Lake City last week.
Had all the showcaller essentials: headset, comms, speaker timer, printed show flow/run of show, speaker slides/script on laptop, Pos-It’s, all the hydrating beverages, snacks and the unsung hero “emergency” chocolate.
My pro tip is I always have a bag of Dove chocolates by me on the tech table, mixture of dark and milk chocolate and caramel. It’s for “emergencies” which can be anything. I don’t ask questions but it’s chocolate for me, my team, my clients, speakers, anyone! It’s a miracle how one piece of chocolate can help someone in the moment, especially in the heat of a live event.
