audiovisual requirements

To ensure the smooth running of ASA2012 Canberra:

  • All presentations are to be prepared in PowerPoint (all versions are acceptable - Presentations including embedded AVI files must ensure that the AVI file is stored in the same folder as the presentation and supplied as a separate file)
  • All presentations are to be uploaded  in the Speaker Preparation Room and will be linked to the conference rooms via a network.  Only in exceptional circumstances will presenters be able to use their own laptop, therefore you are encouraged to familiarise yourself with the equipment made available in the room you are presenting in.

Presentations must be uploaded in the Speaker Preparation Room at least one hour prior to the commencement of the session in which you are presenting.
