More About Our
Arrangements
While this section may
look complicated, we've done this to clarify who does what and what our
charges are to avoid confusion down the road. We actually consider
these terms to be very favorable to you
See
our basic pricing information here.
Fee discounts may be available for:
-
An event within 100 miles of
speaker's home (substantial discount!)
-
An event that can be booked as part of another trip
-
Payment of the entire fee at booking
Additional charges may be incurred for:
-
Customization of
programs
-
Our basic daily fee includes
customization of regulatory seminars (eg. sales and use tax, payroll)
to the laws of one state. If you need coverage of additional states,
this may required an additional charge, depending on your
requirements, the number of states involved, etc. Also, please
keep in mind that the more states involved, the more complicated and
confusing the seminar will become. We can discuss this
with you.
-
Use of our AV equipment.
If we use your projector and PA system, please have someone
available to help with the inevitable snags in making everything
work.
-
If you wish to video the
program, there's no additional charge. However the video can
only be used within your organization and local facility. The
additional fee is not unreasonable, please contact us.
You typically would be responsible for these costs:
-
All ground and air transportation from
speaker's home airport (Chicago O'Hare) to your event
-
Air travel will be via
coach class on the most direct and convenient flight available (preferably
American or United). Travel by car may be
preferred.
-
Rental car will be a
full sized model, usually from Avis.
-
Lodging at a
Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Courtyard, or similar hotel for
the night before your event.
-
If this is for a hotel-based event, then lodging at the primary hotel for your event
for at least one evening prior to your event.
-
If your event
goes late, a second night may be necessary depending on available
air travel (red-eyes from the West are not preferred).
-
Duplication of handouts (we'll provide
masters, generally as Acrobat files, unless you request otherwise)
-
All audio visual needs
including a digital projector, and if the situation requires a sound
system: a microphone (lavaliere wireless is preferred). A
sound system probably won't be required unless the number of
participants is greater than 50. Please contact us for
details.
-
Please note that
you are NOT responsible for our
meals, tips, and travel to and parking at Chicago - O'Hare.
-
Speaker will arrange travel in consultation with you.
Other issues:
-
If we're presenting at multiple
sessions at a conference, we'll need at least a
one hour break between sessions (for take-down, set up and audience
questions) and longer if the presentations are not nearby.
-
We may need to arrange for extended phone interviews with yourself
and other members of your staff and organization to adapt to your
specific needs, customs, policies and procedures, systems, and other
issues.
-
We would welcome the opportunity to discuss room set up with you in
order to maximize the value you receive from the
program.
