FAQs

What are Mark's equipment needs?

Mark usually delivers a presentation using visual support and is happy to use a computer set up for your event, but can run the presentation from his computer also. Therefore, he will need: data projector, a screen and a lapel mic (unless it is a boardroom-type briefing)

Can we record or video Mark’s presentation?

Yes, McCrindle Research grants permission to the client organisation to record the sessions and distribute them as long as they don’t sell the content.

Can we have a copy of the visuals used in the presentation?

Yes, simply request the slides or and we will make it available to be used, posted or distributed to the client organisation and the attendees.

Can we request more copies of the demographic handouts you gave out?

Yes, we regularly update the demographic map and handouts and hard copies can be posted on request, or electronic copies emailed out.

Do we have to pay business class or economy?

We fly economy — and discounted economy where possible. We keep our expenses to a minimum and business class is only required for international flights or for some long-haul domestic flights.

Are there any other expenses?

Accommodation is only required if the program requires Mark arriving the night before or leaving the morning after the session. Ground transfers such as a rental car or taxis (whichever is cheaper) will be included if needed. All expenses are calculated before the event so that you know the exact amount you’ll pay upfront.

Where can we buy Mark’s books?

They are available from many bookshops, most online bookstores, and at mccrindle.com.au. However we recommend the provision of books to conference attendees as they are an excellent resource and can maximise the impact of the professional development session therefore we provide books as part of a Speaking Booking at a substantial discount.
