Step 2: Please bring your file to the Speaker Ready Room on a PC formatted USB Drive. A technician will identify you in the system from your name badge and upload your presentation onto the server. Once the file has been uploaded it will be placed onto a preview station for your review. It is very important that you check your presentation on the preview station to ensure that any videos run, and everything appears as you intended. Images, fonts, bullets etc. If you encounter any difficulties at this time, a technician will be available to assist you.
The configuration of the Preview Station and Presentation machines match exactly and will be running the latest version of Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows with Adobe Reader available for PDF viewing.
Step 3: Once you have fully reviewed your presentation on the preview station you check out with the technicians in the Speaker Ready Room and at that point you will be set for your presentation.
Step 4: In the session room, a technician will open your presentation and put it in slideshow mode at the first slide. You will have control to advance each slide yourself. The system is set up with Presenter View enabled for PowerPoint so you may see your notes pages as you present.
