AV Requirements

NOTE: Please bring your own LCD projector if you need one. We will order and pay for the projection screen and computer cart. Request A/V equipment only if absolutely necessary as the hotel charges are prohibitively expensive. For instance, having the hotel provide an LCD projector costs $750/session and the screen an additional $400/session, plus set up charges and taxes. We appreciate your understanding!

Does your workshop require a laptop and LCD projector?*
My session requires a laptop and LCD projector and I will be bringing my own.
My session does NOT require a laptop and LCD projector.

If you checked "Yes" and are bringing your own laptop and LCD projector, a screen and cart will be in the room scheduled for your session.

Once notified that your proposal is approved, please contact Karen Gadowsky, (speakers@bcaea.com), if you need to request additional A/V equipment.

Room Set-up

My preferred room setup is:*
    Theatre Style seating (chairs only).
    Table seating (round tables with chairs).
    No preference.

Once notified that your session is approved, please contact Karen Gadowsky, (speakers@bcaea.com), to make the necessary arrangements for specific room setups not listed.
