Part of providing a great demo comes from the confidence in understaning the A/V setup. The A/V Guide is there to
help the presenters understand the A/V setup and to help if something seems to be going wrong. Usually this role
is broken up into multiple shifts to cover the whole event. Before the event the A/V Guide works with the
presenters to make sure that they understand how to hook into the input to the projector and knowing where the
microphones are.
