I am beginning to receive invitations to provide presentations as a guest speaker and have realized that I need a portable, light weight "toolbox" as a backup for equipment provided by the organization. I currently have a laptop with a small external clip on speaker and an iPad with another external speaker. Both are only adequate for a small room. Here is what I believe I should have in my "toolbox" and would appreciate any suggestions on items to add and what brand/type you have found effective. Of course, I am budget minded and want to get the best bang for my buck. More powerful external speaker, wireless capable with USB connection for power from laptop, if needed. I received a recommendation for the Bose "SoundLink" Bluetooth and Jawbone "Jambox" Wireless lapel and hand held microphones. I have looked at a couple of portable PA systems that come with both, however I would like to purchase only one external speaker that can interface with the microphones, as well as the laptop. Portable, light weight projector for small to medium rooms with LED light. remote control and speaker. Research has shown that the micro projectors might be an option but most require dimmed lights. Projector screen (this would not be carried to each presentation but must have one available if needed) A bag with wheels to transport my "toolbox" Backup batteries Thank you! Connie Bradshaw
