Presenters will be required to use their own laptop to present. Adapters (mini-display port and usb-c/thunderbolt), as well as an audio plug-in connector cord (if the presentation contains sound), will be available. Should you need a different connector, please reach out so that can be secured for your presentation. Presenters will have the opportunity to test their laptop during breaks, in the morning, and at end-of-day. Wi-Fi internet will be available throughout the conference area.
