Miscellaneous Information
Audio-Visual Equipment: Standard equipment in all session rooms is one overhead projector and screen. Invited 50-minute speakers are automatically provided with an ELMO visual presenter (document camera/projector), one overhead projector, and a laptop projector; AMS Special Sessions and Contributed Papers are provided with the standard equipment and a laptop projector. All MAA sessions will be supplied with an LCD projector, an overhead projector, and a screen. In addition, all MAA panel sessions will be supplied with a head table on risers with mics for the panelists. Blackboards are not available, nor are Internet hookups in session rooms. Any request for additional equipment should be sent to meet@ams.org and received by November 1.
Equipment requests made at the meetings most likely will not be granted because of budgetary restrictions. Unfortunately no audio-visual equipment can be provided for committee meetings or other meetings or gatherings not on the scientific program.
Email Services: Limited email access for all Joint Meetings participants will be available in an email center located near the JMM Registration Desk, Pratt Lobby, on the 300 level in the Baltimore Convention Center. The hours of operation will be published in the program. Participants should be aware that complimentary Internet access will be available in the networking center located in Hall F, ground level of the Baltimore Convention Center.
Information Distribution: Tables are set up in the exhibit area for dissemination of general information of possible interest to the members and for the dissemination of information of a mathematical nature not promoting a product or program for sale. Information must be approved by the director of meetings prior to being placed on these tables.
If a person or group wishes to display information of a mathematical nature promoting a product or program for sale, they may do so in the exhibit area at the Joint Books, Journals, and Promotional Materials exhibit for a fee of US$50 (posters are slightly higher) per item. Please contact the exhibits coordinator, MMSB, P.O. Box 6887, Providence, RI 02940, or by email at cpd@ams.org for further details.
The administration of these tables is in the hands of the AMS-MAA Joint Meetings Committee, as are all arrangements for Joint Mathematics Meetings.
Telephone Messages: It will be possible to leave a message for any registered participant at the meetings registration desk from January 15 through 18 during the hours that the desk is open. These messages will be posted on the Mathematics Meetings Message Board in the networking center; however, staff at the desk will try to locate a participant in the event of a bona fide emergency. The telephone number will be published in the program and daily eNewsletter.
