Keeping Control of Your Seminars
If the seminar room and your audience is larger than 40 people
or so, you'll likely be using a microphone.
When you take questions from the audience, you may have a second mic so that when you take questions, the rest of the group can hear the question. Never just hand someone the mic to ask questions, have an assistant hold the mic for the person asking the question.
Instruct your assistant ahead of time to move away after the person poses their question. Otherwise, this person may be on the mic forever - or at least a lot longer than you wanted. And, if you just hand the mic over to someone in the audience to ask questions, you may never get it back.
Alternately, you can set up a mic on a stand, and have people line up to ask one question at a time, and you can announce that the limit is one question per person. This is especially useful if you're filming the event, because that way you can point one camera at the mic stand and capture all questions easily.
Don't hand the microphone over to your audience, you may never see it again!
