The “Host a Class” program has become very popular and works a couple of different ways. The bottom line is that the more you promote the class, the more you will raise. Contact Chief Rufer regarding the specifics of this program at contact@xtremefd.com

Chief Rufer is very flexible and has delivered his programs in fire station meeting rooms, school auditoriums, hotel conference rooms, and convention centers. If you are expecting more than 50 people a raised platform is requested but not required. This will give the audience a clear, unobstructed view during the presentation. If holding the event in a fire station meeting room or conference room, chairs should be in rows, do not use a center aisle (prime viewing space) use smaller aisles on either side. Stagger the chairs in alternate rows so that audience members won’t have someone’s head right in front of them, blocking their view. An area of a 10ft between Chief Rufer and the first row is preferred. Match the number of chairs to the number of people that are registered, keep extra chairs stacked at the back of the room.

For smaller venues (those seating 100 or less) Chief Rufer needs a projector and screen. For larger venues (those seating over 100) he will also need an audio system for both the presentation and a microphone, preferably a lavaliere microphone. Chief Rufer will work with you on these items once your program is booked.

You will receive a speaking agreement. Sign and return the agreement with a 50% deposit to hold the date. Chief Rufer will call you a few weeks prior to the program to finalize all of the details. Sit back and enjoy how easy Chief Rufer is to work with.
