Miscellaneous Information
Audio-Visual Equipment
Special Sessions and Contributed Papers sessions will contain a screen, an LCD projector, and a wireless slide advancer with laser pointer. Blackboards, white boards, and transparency projectors will not be available.
Session rooms will not include a hardline internet connection, public Wi-Fi, or audio elements, including microphones, speakers, and direct box for audio files. Any presenters using a MAC laptop will be required to provide the proper adaptor(s). Rooms will contain a HDMI connection at the podium, so a Mini-DiplayPort to HDMI or USB-Type C to HDMI will be needed. If you are not sure what adapter your laptop needs, please consult through this link.
Invited Talks that will take place in the main Invited Address Rooms will contain a lectern, PC Laptop with Microsoft Office Suite, wireless microphone, wireless slide advancer (aka clicker) with laser pointer, and an LCD projector for projecting presentation slides onto two large stage flanking screens. This image will be mirrored on all screens.
Any presenters using a MAC laptop will be required to provide the proper adaptor(s). Rooms will contain a HDMI connection at the podium, so a Mini-DiplayPort to HDMI or USB-Type C to HDMI will be needed. If you are not sure what adapter your laptop needs, please consult through this link. If any videos are shown, the link must be correctly embedded in the powerpoint file and tested prior to speaking. Any videos that reside on an individual's laptop and are embedded in the powerpoint, those files must be included on their USB drive and tested prior to speaking. This method is not preferred, as the video is likely to lag. Transparency projectors cannot be provided as part of the standard audio-visual setup in any room.
Any requests for additional equipment should be sent to mtgs-requests@ams.org and received no later than September 22.
E-mail Services
Limited e-mail access for all Joint Meetings participants will be available in an e-mail center located adjacent to the JMM Registration Desk. The hours of operation will be published in the program. Participants should be aware that complimentary wireless internet access will also be available in specific, designated areas of the Convention Center. These locations will be identified in the program.
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 AMS Director of Meetings and Conferences 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 JMM Community Bookstore for a fee of US\$53 (posters are slightly higher) per item. Please contact the Senior Meetings Specialist at mmsb@ams.org for further details.
