Speaker Ready Room

The Speaker Ready room is available for your use, Room 110 beginning Tuesday, January 23, 2024. This room will be set up with tables and A/V equipment. You may use this room to meet with co-presenters, review your slides, practice your presentation or to relax and take a break from this action-packed event! Coffee/water service and light snacks will be available. The speaker ready room is only accessible to registered speakers

AV and Session Rooms

A/V will be provided in all session rooms and include a projector, screen, slide advancers, and an appropriate number of microphones for presenters and co-presenters.

Speakers are responsible for providing their own laptop for their session with presentation fully downloaded and prepared. If participating on a panel, only the moderator needs their laptop present to present. We will provide cables to attach the laptop to the projector. However, if you are using a MAC, please bring your own dongle or check with us ahead of time that A/V has the appropriate dongle.

If you have any additional A/V requests such as flipcharts or if your presentation requires sound for videos, please reach out to Kennedy Oglesby, contact info at top of the page. We will do our best to fulfill your request. Please note that all requests may not be able to be fulfilled.
