You should consider bringing:

Your laptop
Power adapter for non-US equipment (or US equipment if in Europe).

Before each session hour, technical staff will connect all the presentation equipment for the next set of presentations. Please refrain from connecting or moving equipment as each room is slated for particular equipment and usage.

All data projectors will connect with your laptop, PC, or MAC using a standard DB25 (VGA) connector.

If you have questions or encounter difficulty when technical staff is not immediately available, go to the conference registration desk. Staff can contact technical assistance for you.

To review or modify your presentation on site, we recommend that you load software, double-check your presentation and make changes on the equipment you will be using during your presentation. The best times to access your presentation room is early morning, prior or during the keynote, or during lunch before the afternoon sessions.

Poster/Demonstration Standard Equipment

The following standard materials will be provided for Poster/Demo presentations only:

Approximately 6’ long table
two chairs
Approximately 4’ high x 8’ wide poster board
electricity source

The conference does not provide equipment for Poster/Demos, SIG discussions or Roundtables. If you need computers, or any other equipment you will need to bring your own or rent equipment. Bear in mind that overhead projectors and slides are not a workable presentation style as the room is large, well-lit and there is no room for a screen. If you need other equipment, rental information is provided. Standard set-up time for all poster/demo and corporate demonstration sessions is 3:00 PM on the day of presentation.
