Miscellaneous Information

Audio-Visual Equipment

This meeting is being planned as an in-person meeting

Special Sessions and Contributed Papers sessions will contain a screen, an LCD projector. Blackboards, white boards, and transparency projectors will not be available.

Session rooms will include public Wi-Fi in most meeting rooms. Session rooms will not include 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-Display Port 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-Display Port 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 20.
