As we discuss in Chapter 5, consider the location, or forum, as you’re mulling over which presentation aids to use. Where will the audience hear your speech? Is the forum equipped to handle presentation aids? For example, is a large screen available? Are outlets available for a laptop computer, computer projector, slide projector, television monitor, or DVD player? If you want to visit a Web site during your presentation and show it to your audience, is wireless access available? If you plan to use printed visual aids, do you have access to poster boards, flip charts, marker boards, or chalkboards?
