Information for Presenters

Audio-Visual Equipment

AHEAD will provide the following AV equipment for all Conference sessions:

If you require any further AV support, you must submit the Speaker Audio- Visual Request Form (Excel file, 80KB). Please contact Lise Fitzpatrick, lise.fitzpatrick@conferon.com, with any questions regarding this form. Preconference session presenters must submit additional audio-visual needs and/or access service related requirements to Neal Fox, neal@ahead.org, on or by July 15, 2005 so we can be sure to have appropriate arrangements made. AHEAD will provide ALL audio-visual support for Preconference Institutes, provided we are notified by the above deadline.

Handouts

Unless otherwise informed, all concurrent session presenters should plan to prepare 50 handouts (40 for Computer Lab sessions) for their session. Preconference session presenters will receive via email updated registration reports directly from the AHEAD office on a weekly basis, beginning in mid-June. Please pay close attention to attendance numbers for your Preconference Institute, in order to be sure you have enough handouts.

All presenters must bring an additional set of handouts to give to the session moderator. There are no free printing services at the Conference. Kinko’s is located 4 blocks from the Conference venue (400 W. Wisconsin Ave; 414-908-6001).

If you are shipping any of your presentation materials, make sure they are shipped to your hotel room and not the Midwest Airlines Center (they will NOT receive freight).

If you do not have a source for producing Braille, you may receive help from Davey Hulse of BraillePlus at (800) 264-2345 or email at service@brailleplus.net

Videos in whatever format (VHS, DVD, online, etc.) must be captioned.

Please NOTE: AHEAD can provide the hardcopy and alternate format handouts for ALL Preconference Institutes. In order to take advantage of this offer, YOU MUST submit by July 1 the electronic files of your handouts in a Microsoft application (i.e., Word, PowerPoint, Excel) to Neal Fox, neal@ahead.org via E-mail attachment. Additionally, AHEAD will provide the necessary audio-visual equipment for ALL Preconference sessions.

Concurrent session presenters are invited to request that AHEAD provide ONLY alternate format handouts (not hard copy). You must submit by July 1 the electronic files of your handouts in a Microsoft application (i.e., Word, PowerPoint, Excel) to Neal Fox, neal@ahead.org via E-mail attachment if you wish to take advantage of this offer.
