Presenter Resources

Facilitated Sessions
Are 60-90 minutes each and may involve multiple presenters ("connected" by EDUCAUSE), both experienced and first-timers.

As a presenter you must register in order to present. Be sure to register by March 13 to get the discounted early-bird rate.

Our goal is to have all session meeting rooms set with round tables, provided the space will accommodate this seating style. There will be a highboy cocktail round provided at the front of the room, toward the side, for laptop projection. Whenever possible, the rooms are set to maximize interactive activities with participants and eliminate the "sage on the stage" approach.

We invite you share your presentation by emailing your files or URLs after the conference. To do this, please email your presentation materials to [email protected].

We ask that you include the following.

• Subject Line: EDUCAUSE Connect Chicago Presentation Materials to upload
• File Attachments: Please rename all files to include the session title (examples – First Timers Orientation_slides.ppt & First Timers Orientation_handout.pdf)
• Email Body:
  Session Date/Time:
  Session Title: TITLE
  Author: NAME(S)

You may use this copyright statement on one of your first slides: This presentation leaves copyright of the content to the presenter.

EDUCAUSE has prepared an optional PowerPoint template for your convenience.

All of the session rooms will have the following standard equipment:

AV:

• LCD projector
• Screen (sizes vary depending on room size but are typically 7.5 x 10)
• Projector stand

* Computers will NOT be provided. Bring your own computer equipped with a standard VGA output and learn how to use a projector with it before arriving. Mac users should bring their own laptop-to-VGA connectors.

Microphones:

• Wireless handheld microphone
• Wired lavaliere microphone (one per presenter)
• Computer audio patch

The following internet connections will be available:

• Wireless access will be available for everyone, presenters and attendees. The connection speed will be sufficient to access and navigate web pages and e-mail.

• One dedicated Ethernet connection will be provided in each conference room and is preferred for presenter use.

• Substantial bandwidth will be provided and should be more than sufficient for applications you wish to present. However, if you know that your presentation will require a significant bandwidth and have concerns, please contact Sean Kennedy.
