Bring Us Your Files
Personal laptops cannot be used. Bring your files to upload in the main scientific session. You can use any USB device, USB hard drive or even a CD/DVD.
At the Podium
There is a 15″ LCD monitor and a mouse for advancing and reversing slides, starting and stopping videos and pointing with the curser (important if we use dual screens). Additionally there is a count down timer to inform you of your presentation time remaining.
Note that “Speaker Notes” are not seen on the podium monitor, so if you use them make sure to print them out ahead of time.
Videos
If you have any videos in your presentation, come see us as early as possible during the conference to ensure that we can test them and that they run. The Last versions of Office/PowerPoint allows you to embed them in the slides to a very reliable level. If you have an older version of PowerPoint we advise you to have the video files and your presentation files as well. If you do not provide videos and test them with us ahead of time we cannot ensure that they will run properly. We have many tricks to ensure that your videos will run but we will need the actual video files if there is a problem so please bring them too! It may run on your computer but all computers do not have the same codecs installed.
Emails
Do not expect to retrieve your slide C Sherman AV from your email at the tech table in the meeting room. Hotel internet is always super slow and it takes lots of time to get files off of the internet. Also do not expect to run any “links” to any files on the internet again hotel connection is s l o w.
