Speaking Policy

As you may have noticed, I will happily share information with anyone. I'd love to come to your conference, workshop series, or other event. But, since I have spent so much time on this over the last few years, I want to be clear what I do, under what conditions:

I will:

  • Make a presentation with you, for your audience and their skill level and interests. I will only talk about things I know I can confidently explain or have an opinion on.
  • Go to any location, at almost any time. Check with me first to make sure it fits my schedule, but in general I do everything first-come, first-served and do not mind travel at all.
  • Attend your whole event, assuming it is remotely something I can follow.
  • Be social. I'll answer questions, on stage or off, come to lunches or drinks, and be a top tweeter of other speakers at your event.
  • Participate however else you ask me. Need a spare person on a panel, to sign books or sit at a lunch table and incite conversation? Okay!
  • Give away stuff, maybe. I often have spare stuff, like books or software. Stuff I have enough of or don't need. If so, I tend to bring it along and give it away to attendees.

You will:

  • Work with me on any arrangements, and to make sure the presentation or workshop appeals to your attendees, and meets their expectations.
  • Provide graphics as needed (your event logo, for example) to assure my customizations look professional and support your brand.
  • Provide suitable facilities and materials for workshops. It won't go as well without a good room, paper, Post-It notes, and markers. Plus I probably travel so can't bring them easily.
  • Assure there's a normal projector. VGA or HDMI, not a silly USB system so I can't attach other devices or see speaker notes.
  • Make sure I will not lose money on the deal. You have to cover any travel expenses I incur for your event alone, lodging and a reasonable fee for meals outside the event. I don't care how: Give me enough honorarium to cover it, let me turn in receipts for reimbursement or you arrange the travel yourself. This can include picking me up at the airport vs paying for a cab. You can finagle this also: get one of your sponsors or your boss to pay me to come to the office for a workshop, that just happens to be the day before your event. That counts.

I don't have any demands aside from those listed. I have no fixed fees. I don't demand money to account for notional lost business, or anything.

Note: I only really speak English. If not all your attendees are fluent in it, tell me so I can deliver the deck early with extra words for translation, so everyone can follow along a little better.

If you want me to come talk to or train your company, in such a way there should probably be an NDA, you should contact me to arrange this as a piece of paid work, and to make sure it addresses the specific needs of your organization.

Quotes About How Awesome I am

"It’s possible that Steven Hoober has done more research than any one human being on mobile and in his presentation, Tools for Mobile UX Design and How People Really Hold and Touch he definitely provided the data proving it! I recommend that anyone who is doing mobile design watch this presentation, which provides great heuristics to keep in mind in terms of text size, visible target, finger size, design by zones and more. He also has for sale on his website, 4ourth.com, a great little tool, which enables UX designers to evaluate their mobile design based upon actual text and finger size!" Lisa L. Trager

Other Online Resources

Slideshare and YouTube also include items on land navigation and sensors, but just ignore those.

Other Photos

Mostly for me, in case I need another promotional ones. These are approved by my wife as things where I don't look stupid and am not doing something (mostly: shooting) that would offend some people.
