Presenter Instructions

HANDOUTS
A QR code will be used for attendees to gain access to session handouts. Please upload your file/s to this Google Drive folder with your session title as the file name. Please upload your materials at least one week before the conference. You are welcome to provide physical copies of your handouts to attendees at your own expense. The rooms will be set for 40-60 participants.

HOTEL RESERVATIONS
Presenters must make their own hotel reservations and are responsible for all other travel expenses.

CO-PRESENTERS
All communications regarding your breakout session will come to the Lead Presenter directly, and they will be responsible for sharing it with their Co-Presenter(s), if any. Also note the rate structure for Co-Presenters. If Co-Presenters are not added at the time of the CFP submission, they cannot be added in the future.

WI-FI
The convention center is equipped with Wi-Fi Internet that is complimentary for all attendees. We highly recommend designing your session so that you will not need internet access, since it can be slow or unreliable.

AUDIO VISUAL EQUIPMENT
Please note that the Conference will provide a LCD projector, fixed projection screen, a microphone if the room size warrants it, and two flip charts with markers. However, the Conference will not be able to provide any other A/V equipment. You are responsible for providing your own laptop and dongle/appropriate adapter, if needed for your presentation. If your presentation requires sound for a video or sound effect, please make the necessary plan to provide that equipment on your own. If you need additional audio-visual equipment, please contact the hotel. Any arrangements you make with the hotel will be at your own expense.

For more information or questions, please contact presenters@ncyi.org.
