PowerPoints and projectors

Every session room is equipped with a computer, projector, and projection screen. Session organizers are strongly encouraged to collect all presentations on a USB flash drive before the conference and to arrive early to pre-load these files. This will help prevent technological delays during the session.

Remember! You must bring your presentation on a flash drive.
