Important Note

Use of personal laptops for presentations is strongly discouraged due to the need for time savings and the possibility of problems with multiple computers switched in and out. All presenters are strongly encouraged to submit their PowerPoint presentation in advance. Conference staff can then have your presentation pre-loaded on the session computer and ready to go. This will save critical time as each new presenter takes the floor.
