EVA CONFERENCES INTERNATIONAL

For speakers and visualisation presenters

Very important: please REGISTER if you haven't already.

Equally important: if you are bringing a Mac laptop, don't forget to bring the ADAPTER to connect it to the projector cable, as there are too many varieties for us to provide them.

Speaking slots

A conference schedule with times is now available. Please email suzanne.keene@ucl.ac.uk at once if there is a problem with the time we have allocated to you, as it may be possible to adjust the speaking order slightly. We do need to freeze the programme very soon so as to get it printed.

Speaking times

As you see, the programme is very tightly timetabled, and chairs will be keeping speakers strictly to time. Please make sure your presentation fits into 20 minutes maximum, including any time for questions.

Facilities and technology

More information will be provided about this shortly on this website page. There will be a data projector, audio connection and internet connection. In general,

• If your presentation is straightforward, and created on a Windows machine it will be OK to bring it on a USB memory stick or CD-ROM and load it onto the conference machine. See detailed technical specifications below.

• Wherever possible we would prefer to transfer your presentation file onto the host computer. However, if your presentation uses or includes anything other than straightforward PowerPoint, i.e. special media, such as video, Flash, Quicktime, audio, etc, or a Keynote presentation, it is best to bring your own laptop with the presentation set up.

• Mac users are welcome - if you plan to run your presentation on the college Windows machine, do check it on a PC to make sure the images are in a Windows readable format (ie, not tiff). And, don't forget to bring the ADAPTER!

We ask all speakers please to check in with the a/v support person, Danny Hollowell, before the session to ensure that everything works correctly, so that we don't have any embarrassing delays during the conference.

Visualisation presentations

This is an opportunity to show off something interactive and exciting and to have a dialogue with EVA delegates.

We will provide each presenter with a display board of dimensions 1830(h) by 1210(w) mm - i.e. approx 6 by 4 ft. It is a free-standing pin-board with a textile covering, onto which anything can be attached by pins or velcro. In addition you may have, if you wish, a 1800x900 table for display of any artefacts or equipment. Power and wireless internet connections are provided. Projection facilities might also be available in the large atrium space at LCC where the event will be held. It may be possible to provide other equipment, such as audio or video, if you require it - please let us know!

Please email Lindsay MacDonald, L.MacDonald@lcc.arts.ac.uk, with your requirements, subject: EVA London Visualisation Presentation.

We have a very exciting programme for EVA London 2007. Thank you very much for your contribution, and we very much look forward to meeting you and enjoying your presentation.
