Speaker Ready Room
The location and hours of operation will be listed in the onsite program. The room will have LCD projectors and screens available to review your presentation.
Audio-Visual Equipment
All rooms will be equipped with:
• Laptop
• LCD projector
• Screen
• Podium microphone
• Slide advance remote with laser pointer
Projectors in the concurrent session rooms will be capable of displaying both 16:9 and 4:3 slides. However, given the screen sizes, your slides will fill more screen and avoid letterboxing if it’s 4:3. Laptops will be set up so presentations can be run from the podium. Audio-visual assistance will be on site to help troubleshoot problems. NO requests for additions to AV capabilities will be accommodated on site.
Location
All the concurrent sessions will be held in the Oregon Convention Center. Rooms will generally be set theater style unless SAF has received and approved a specific request for another format. Attendees will not have a writing surface.
Handouts
Presenters are responsible for creating, shipping, and distributing their own handouts.
Cancellations
If there is a change in your ability to present, please contact the
SAF Director of Science and Education as soon as possible at (866) 897-8720, ext. 240.
