When it comes to the day to present, don’t forget about the practicalities. There’s nothing worse than preparing a brilliant presentation, only to have it ruined by simple problems you could have forseen.

For instance, consider:

• Where exactly is the training taking place?
• Where is the nearest parking or train station?
  
• Where will you stand?
  
• Do they have the correct equipment or will you have to bring your own?
• What length of presentation is the audience expecting?
• Will you be able to have access to the room before people arrive?
• Will my laptop be compatible with the projector?
  
• Could I still give the presentation if the projector failed?
  

It’s best to assume that if it can go wrong it will go wrong, and to prepare accordingly!
