Audio-Visual Equipment
Dear Participants in the International Colloquium in 20th 21st Century French & Francophone Studies,
We are supplying the following audio-visual equipment. Each room will be equipped with a projector and a screen. One of the presenters in each panel should provide a laptop computer and the members of the panel should load their presentations before the beginning of the session. The laptops used for input to projectors must have a VGA OUT port (some newer laptops do not have VGA). MAC users should have the display to VGA ADAPTER for their specific MAC. We will have the VGA cords and in addition we will have three MAC adapters for those who forget to bring the proper equipment. MAC users who save the presentations to a flash drive should make sure their data is saved for PC use.
Each panel chair might want to contact the participants on their panel to verify who will volunteer to provide the laptops.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
