Macbook people who want to use their computer: Be sure to bring your VGA adaptor. There

will be some but limited.

Not sure what you need? See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3235

Plan B: Insure your presentation can be shown on any computer by creating a PDF version!


If you want to use your Macbook / iPad then bring your VGA adaptor. If you do not have one, then ask before arriving. There may be a few around but limited. Alternative is to export your presentation to a PDF and use that on any room computer.

Please proof you presentations!


If you plan to export Keynote presentations to a Powerpoint file, proof the resulting exportedPowerpoint file. Fonts and image alignments in Keynote do not always translate 100% accurately in the export to Powerpoint.


Are you ready to present? Be sure to practice:)


Please arrive 15 minutes before your session begins to allow for time to setup and be ready for the session start.
