Speaker Resources

Check-in

Please check-in at the registration desk in the morning. If you are coming in later in the day, please e-mail us ahead of time. The coder lounge is usually quiet enough to work on your slides.

Session Room Information

Main Auditorium

The main auditorium has a speaker podium and microphone. The audio will be directly piped into our A/V setup for session recording. The room is large and open. It may be best to increase contrast of font color and background for increase visibility.

2nd Floor

The second floor room is a tiered class room. You will be speaking upward toward the audience. The room lighting is adjustable.

Classrooms

The classrooms on the first floor are similar. There is a table at the front to setup a laptop just to the side of the projection screen. There is no audio hook up in these rooms, but your voice should carry well enough to be heard in the back row.

  • Your laptop's power adapter
  • Your laptop's equivalent VGA adapter or DVI to VGA converter. If you do not have one, we may be able to provide one upon request.
