We look forward to welcoming you to the Conference!

For Presenters

  • Each session room is equipped with a PC desktop computer.  Please try to arrive early to load your presentation onto the computer (rooms will be open by 8 a.m.).  There will be volunteers available to assist you.  
  • We encourage you to bring your presentation on a USB stick and e-mail it to yourself, as a backup. 
  • We would like to encourage you to use the computer provided in the room.  If, however, you would like to use your own computer, there are VGA, as well as HDMI connections available. Mac users are encouraged to supply their own adapters.
  • Technical assistance: All podiums have instructions taped to them, and there is also an emergency phone directly to tech support if needed. They can typically talk people through any glitches over the phone, if the need arises.
  • For people giving presentations (as opposed to workshops or panels): Each session will have a Chair who will keep timing on track.  You may ask him/her for time cues.
  • If you plan to provide handouts to your session participants, please note that you may have 30-60 people or so in your session, as there are approximately 300 people registered for the Conference and five or six concurrent sessions in a time slot.

Thank you for contributing to the Conference, and best wishes for a wonderful session!
