Presenter Resources

We would like to assist all speakers in making sure their presentations are a success. There are many logistical details that are best organized in advance, so your cooperation in completing the following items is sincerely appreciated.

Preliminary Conference Scheduling is available at http://wlc.csumb.edu/digitalstream/2008/program.htm
Please contact Heather at digitalstream@csumb.edu if you have scheduling requirements

Registration
All presenters, co-presenters, panelists, etc. are requested to register by Feb. 15, 2008.

Presentation Logistics
Each session room will be equipped with a computer (PC--Apple by request only), a multimedia projector, screen, speakers, white board and wireless or wired network access. In select location there is a lavaliere or standing microphone connected to the speakers.

Software
If you will be presenting using any software or plug-ins other than our standard CSUMB loadset and if this software must be installed on the computer in order to run (e.g. it cannot be run from a CD or URL), then you must bring your own laptop with the software already installed. The computers provided by CSUMB are locked and we cannot support the installation of additional software. Please contact and verify that one of these options will support your presentation.We have experienced difficulties in the past when presentations contain fonts that are non-standard. Please use standard fonts only when creating your presentations. Come with the 'complete' presentation including all multi-media files. Please note CSUMB has not adopted Office2007. Please save files as Office2003 (and below) and compatible format.

Your Laptop
If you are bringing your own laptop, make sure that the computer you are using has a VGA port or VGA adapter cable. This is the port that allows us to hook it up to our data projector.

The other concern, regarding the laptop, is administrative privileges. If you need access to the web via CSUMB's campus network, we will need to input our network address. If your machine is password protected, we may not be able to access the settings. Please contact the department that handles your machine and they should be able to unlock any access passwords. If this is your personal machine, be sure you have administrative access. Our campus runs DHCP for most networking requests.

Technical Support
We strongly recommend a practice run of your presentation at least a day ahead of time. This is to ensure that your presentation will run smoothly and to test all related software and equipment. Our technical support staff will be available to test your presentations with you beginning Sunday, March 16, 2008. Please check the conference program for updated technical support times and locations. Plan to leave a copy of your presentation materials at the registration site.

Note: Tech support staff will also be onsite throughout the entire conference should you need assistance.

Proceedings
Proceedings: Presenters are strongly encouraged to submit a final revised manuscript for printing in our published proceedings. Please submit your final, revised manuscript by February 15, 2008. We'd like to stress that this is not just an expanded abstract or a printed version of your presentation, but rather a fully developed manuscript. Manuscript guidelines are here.
