Presenters

Data projectors with computers will be provided in all of the parallel session rooms. We recommend that you bring your PowerPoint presentation on a USB memory stick. In addition, your presentation will need to be saved with the file suffix ‘.ppt’, not ‘.pptx’. The computers in the presentation rooms will not ‘recognize’ a PowerPoint presentation saved in the 2007 format (.pptx).

Internet Access at the Conference Venue

Wireless Internet access is available at the Conference venue. Although this is free of charge and no password is required, you will need to bring you own laptop – computers are not available for Internet access.
