IF YOU ARE PROPOSING A PAPER, YOU MUST CHECK BOTH BOXES

I confirm that I will deliver this paper in person within the 20-minute time limit.

I confirm that I am submitting only one abstract to only one session.
Currently enrolled undergraduates may propose a paper only for the “Papers by Undergraduates” Special Session(s).

Audio-Visual Equipment

I do not need any AV equipment.

Other AV request:

Data Projectors.

The data projectors used in Congress meeting rooms, when requested, have VGA connections and XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) resolution. We encourage you to test your laptop using a projector with these specifications before coming to the Congress. If a data projector is requested, a screen will be provided.

Most Mac users will need to bring an adaptor for the VGA connection. All laptop users will need to bring power cords. Most of those coming from outside North America will need a plug adaptor (although probably not a converter, since most laptops are designed to work with a wide range of voltage and frequency). Electrical current in the United States is 120 volts/60 Hz.

Please note that computers are not provided for Congress presentations. Speakers who wish to make presentations involving a computer are expected to bring their own laptops or to arrange with the session’s organizer or another colleague for the use of a computer. We continue to accommodate workshop sessions that require the use of a computer lab.

Internet Access

Access to the internet during the Congress, including in meeting rooms, is through WMU’s wireless network. Those planning to use the internet during their presentations will need to establish a User ID in WMU’s wireless system in advance of the session by following the instructions contained in their Congress registration packets.

Whiteboards

If a whiteboard is requested, a marker will be provided.

Overhead Projectors

If an overhead projector is requested, a screen will be provided.

35mm Slide Projectors

For each 35mm slide projector requested, a carousel, a remote control for advancing slides, and a screen will be provided.

DVD Players

If a DVD player has been requested, either a monitor or a projector and screen will be provided, depending upon the size and configuration of the meeting room.

VHS Players

If a VHS player has been requested, either a monitor or a projector and screen will be provided, depending upon the size and configuration of the meeting room. PAL tapes must be transferred to NTSC VHS in advance of the Congress.
