Good to know
What to expect
The address is written for the audience in front of her and what that particular group cares about, packed with things they can act on and grounded in real case studies rather than theory. Jessica hosts the Hembury Books Podcast and has spoken at Byron Writers Festival. Fifteen years as a journalist across the UK, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Australia means she's used to rooms that are nothing like each other, and she plainly enjoys the speaking part of the job.
On the day
Very little, and nothing exotic. What she does need is tech with enough audio capacity to carry her voice properly across the room, so a microphone and speakers that suit the size of the space. Worth confirming with the venue rather than assuming, because a talk built on detail loses people fast when the back half of the room is straining to hear it.
