- Speaker device (e.g. laptop or smartphone for translator)

- Power banks (for listeners to borrow)
- Extra chargers (for listeners to charge their phones if needed)
- Extension chords (in case you need them)

Communication with your visitors
>> How will you inform your listeners?
>> Where will people be able to get support?
- Send out an email ahead of the event: Bringt your smartphone, headphones and charger - and download the app here!
- Think about where you will provide an info point so people can get help at the beginning and also during the event.
- We recommend to hand out info sheets for listeners like these.
- It can be useful to show an info slide on a video wall or put up posters with infos.
