AUDIOVISUAL INSTRUCTIONS

We expect that most presentations will be by powerpoint and digital projector.  All rooms will be equipped with a computer and digital projector, slide projector and carousel, and an overhead projector will be available in an adjacent room.  If your presentation is with slides, load your slides into a carousel provided by the AV attendant well before the start of your session, or provide the attendant with your own carousel, labeled with your name.  If your presentation is by powerpoint, save the presentation on a CD, label it with your name and the session you are participating in, and bring it to the AV room (Gautier) the afternoon before your presentation.  Use your last name as the file name.  This will allow the AV volunteers to load your presentation into the computers that will be assigned to your room and session.  For the few participants participating in a symposium and registering for only one day, arrive at the assigned room at least 30 minutes before the start of the program so that the attendant can load your program.  We strongly discourage using your own computers for presentations because of the potential for incompatibility with projectors, particularly if you use a McIntosh.  In the case that you insist, and there are problems, the lost time will be taken out of your presentation.  Generally, if there is a problem in a 15 minute time slot, you will lose your opportunity to give your presentation.  If you have any questions about presentation equipment, plese email philippi@fiu.edu.

Poster Presenters should set up your poster in the location on the boards, matching the topic number in the program, first thing in the morning on which the presentation occurs, either Monday or Wednesday.  Posters should be 3' wide by 4' tall (1m by 1.3m).  Presenters need to stand by the posters during the afternoon immediately during and after the coffee break for the allotted time of 1 hour.  You need to remove your poster at the end of the day.
