What speakers need to know and bring to convention

Dear Speakers,

Speakers attending Calgary City Teachers' Convention when presenting on-site are responsible for the following items:

• Bring your computer and cables to attach to an LCD projector. LCD projectors at all locations are VGA ONLY.

Speakers are required to bring their own VGA cables and HDMI to VGA active converter cables and MAC converter cables.

BE PREPARED BRING YOUR OWN.

• Prepare your presentation and ensure it works. If the presentation is stored on a school board network or storage, ie CBE, CSSD, you may not be able to access your information. Do not make an assumption that it will work, create a back up copy on your computer or have a copy of your presentation on an external drive or USB device and bring it with you.

• There is a break between sessions. This is the presenters opportunity to set up and test devices. If you are located at a school environment there are limited resources to support your AV requirements. Plan ahead, make sure you have what YOU need for a successful presentation. Ensure you have your AV issues resolved BEFORE you arrive on location. Contact the convention executive assistant if you have questions prior to the event.
