Speakers Guidelines
Preloading Presentations:
Speakers, Moderators and other Presenters, should kindly stop by the Speaker A-V Room and check-in upon arrival at the Meeting.
Your presentation is required to be loaded onto the meeting computers the day prior to your scheduled talk. Submitting your presentation ahead of time ensures your presentation will not have unexpected display problems.
How it Works:
There will be a single laptop computer at the podium. This laptop is connected via a network to a laptop located in the speaker ready room. Once your pres-entation has been checked in by the operator, it will be loaded onto the main podium computer where you can easily launch it.
Format Guidelines:
PowerPoint Presentations on CD-ROM or USB Mini Hard Drive (Flash memory sticks).
Personal Laptops will not be used, to eliminate mishaps that can occur due to incompatible devices and software and also to ensure the flow of the meeting is not interrupted.
