Creating a quiet space backstage where your keynote can get in the zone before their presentation is an essential step in the planning process. Providing a concierge-level experience for your speaker will leave them feeling appreciated and adequately prepared.
Green rooms also provide your speaker with privacy for conversations and space for signing autographs/memorabilia, grabbing a light meal, and touching up their makeup/clothes, so they step out on stage looking and feeling their best.
What should you keep in mind for your next Green Room?
? Look at your speaker’s rider for detailed requirements.
? Provide charging ports and TVs, one of which should display a live feed of the show.
? Have a variety of reading materials available.
? Order special food and beverage upon arrival; ask about dietary restrictions/preferences.
? Provide good lighting and a full-length mirror in the room for makeup/dressing.
? Furnish the space with comfortable seating and a table for sit-down meetings.
? Use event security to secure the green room and internal route to the stage.
