Audio-Visual Setup:
The conference room will be set up with a screen, microphone, LCD projector, and laptop (PC). NAMBE will provide a laptop (PC) in the session room. If you are using the NAMBE provided computer, please load your presentation on to this computer prior to the start of the session or during a session break. In deference to all our presenters, it is important that personal computer/LCD projector compatibility issues be worked out well in advance of your presentation. Please note that PowerPoint is the recommended presentation software. The projector is expected to be compatible with both PC’s and MAC’s; however, we ask that you bring a copy of your presentation on a flash drive as a back-up.
