RIGHTS RESERVED:

written permission and the Speaker is guaranteed a first generation copy for his files.
CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY:
To receive a full refund of your payment, written cancellation must be received within 45 days

charged for cancellations made less than 45 days before event date. In the event of sickness
of or accident to your speaker, or if an event is rendered impossible due to an emergency
beyond control of speaker or host, it is understood and agreed that there shall be no claim for
damages by either party. In the event of such nonperformance for any of the reasons listed

OTHER SPEAKER NEEDS:
Audio requirements include a quality sound system, which has been tested for proper
operation.
Microphone preferences are in order below:
1)Hands free microphone (lapel mic)
2)Handheld cordless microphone
3)Handheld microphone with at least 30 feet of cord
Mark’s presentation is geared to generate laughter, which is a communal and contagious
experience. This works best when audiences are packed into smaller spaces. Large venues
with a lot of open or “dead space” are not ideal. Likewise tables, particularly round tables
where half the audience has their back to the speaker, are not encouraged. The audience
should be seated as close to the stage as possible.
In the event the speaker would desire to make use of any special equipment such as video,
computer (Power-Point), etc., we will give you ample notification to enable you to make the
appropriate arrangements.

with at least 30 feet of cord. 3) Hands free microphone (lapel mic).

stool or chair for his notes and water is needed.
SEATING ARRANGEMENT
•Please sit audience directly in front of Mark in a theater style setting. No seating behind
or to the side of Mark while he speaks.
