Venue Capabilities

Each session location will have a Windows laptop computer projecting onto a wall screen. Audio will play only through the laptop speakers unless a presenter makes specific arrangements with the Conference Committee before February 1, 2025. Presenters may show PowerPoint slides and video; but these must be copied to the projecting laptop, not downloaded from the web, since these computers will NOT have internet access.
