Take care of the details

  • Once we are agreed on a date, please send in the following contract.

  • It is best if we can match the size of the hall to the expected size of the crowd. Unless this is a major Associational or State event, it is usually best to be in the Fellowship Hall, or large classroom rather than the auditorium. This seems to be my #1 frustration in presenting. It is much more difficult to get people fired up in an auditorium that is only 10% full. Please, please, please, put us in the fellowship hall or a large Sunday School conference unless you anticipate we will actually be filling the auditorium.

  • I will bring a laptop to do PowerPoint. I need a projector. i usually use some video clips, so if I can have my laptop near me, that would be great. I will bring a 100' VGA wire to help with this if needed.

  • If Missy is speaking, she will need a projector and sound as well.

  • I will need to get a audio signal out of my laptop into your house system. This is a standard mini-headphone jack. It is the same connection found in any standard portable CD player. I will bring an 1/8" to 1/4" wire (mini-headphone to standard head-phone) so if you have a direct box and an XLR we are set.

  • You might want to copy and paste the above to an email for your tech person. All these specs are pretty standard and they will likely understand exactly what I mean.

  • I normally eat after the conference. If I get in by mid-afternoon and you want to share a meal then, that would be great too. This enables me to get to know you and your church before the conference. I don't like to eat just before I speak. Also, for Sunday meetings, we often get in on Saturday night in time to enjoy a meal if you have time for it. Call me on my cell 575.650.4564.

  • I set up hotel arrangements myself. I normally stay in the closest Hampton or Holiday Inn.

  • I normally show up to the speaking venue about 45 minutes before the meeting to do set up.

  • I do my own travel arrangements.

  • If I fly to the conference destination, I normally don't rent a car. If you are some distance away, I am happy to rent a car and drive myself. Most conferences are part of a tour. In this case, I will have a car. See www.joshhunt.com/schedule.htm to see what I am doing the day before or after your event.

  • I don't do printed outlines, but Missy does. If you are having her speak, download her outlines here: KIDTEACH Outline

  • I have an evaluation form I would like for you to have copied and distributed to the participants. I will pick them up after the conference. Here is the link: http://www.joshhunt.com/Evaluation.pdf 
  • I'd like to ask you to pass out one sample lesson that is a follow up to the conference. Access that here.
