Technical & Booking Details

What AV setup does Dom need?

A laptop connection (HDMI or USB-C) and a lapel mic. Slides are 16:9.

Are slides available in advance?

For closing keynotes, no - Dom adapts in real-time. For other talks, yes on request.

How long are presentations?

As short or as long as your event needs. From 15 minutes to a full week program!

Can Dom MC or host a panel?

Absolutely. Dom regularly MCs full events and hosts panel discussions.

What about travel and logistics?

Dom is based in Sydney and speaks globally. While he is a very special speaker, he knows he's no more special as a person than any other human. He travels economy class for domestic and NZ travel and doesn't ask for limos or hire cars. Frankly, he prefers taking public transport. His hotel requirement is 'comfy bed, close to the venue with good wifi'.
