Notes:

• Presenters may bring their own equipment, but should understand that only equipment provided by the conference organizers is supported by the Technical Support Team.
  
  
• Forums, Special Sessions, and Learning Center Courses are provided at no cost with a microphone, screen, video data projector, and high-speed internet connectivity. Additional AV equipment must be requested prior to the conference and is the financial responsibility of presenters. Presenters who need a computer for their session are required to bring their own laptop computer. If you require additional AV equipment, please contact Robin Piccirilli as soon as possible.
  
  
• Poster Session presentations take the form of an exhibit and are delivered primarily through the use of graphs, diagrams, pictures, data, and narrative text on bulletin boards. Presenters must arrange for their own display materials. Presenters informally discuss their information with conference attendees by making brief remarks and answering questions about the presentation topic. Conference participants are free to move from one display to another during Poster Sessions.
  
  Poster Sessions are provided, at no cost, with a 6' draped table and a 4'x8' self-standing tack board. Tack boards are covered with fabric and will require the use of long pins or velcro to attach display materials. Computer equipment used by participants presenting Poster Sessions will need to be battery operated, as Poster Sessions DO NOT have access to electricity or power outlets.
  
  
• Roundtable Discussions last one hour and are aimed at audiences of 10 to 12 participants. Please be advised that numerous Roundtable Discussions will be going on simultaneously in the same room during the hour-long period.
  
  Computer equipment used by participants presenting Roundtable Discussions will need to be battery operated, as Roundtable Discussions DO NOT have access to electricity or power outlets. Flipcharts will be available if requested prior to the conference.
