Hi Jarryd

Don't mean to be a downer but if this presentation is important to you
have a good think about this first...
Presenting is about the persons connection / interaction with the audience
(and I'm a speaker support designer)
practice - practice - practice  - present to your dog - kids - mirror
**if the laptop fails for some reason you loose all your notes
if you do what you are suggesting please keep a paper copy just in case
I was once in a show where the auto cue cable was kicked out - no more words
for the presenter to read  - Luckily he was well prepared and had his paper
copy.

Have a look at this guy for some inspiration
Gar Reynolds.com and Presentation Zen

Hope it all goes well.
Kind Regards
Signature

For me there's a happy medium.
Have presenter view notes but make them just main points so you dont miss
things out. NEVER just read ANYTHING when presenting!

Always have a back up plan (paper notes / OHP slides / flip chart whatever)

If you dont want to stare at tiny font notes on screen see here:

Did that answer the question / help?

Dear all,

I have paper copies, cue cards, memory sticks and CDS all as backup media.
Thank you for your tips as I must admit I am super-stressed over all this.

Wish me luck!

Jarryd
