YOUR PRESENTATION
YOUR PRESENTATION - PLEASE SEND TO EMILY BY EOD THURSDAY:
We plan to have your presentation pre-loaded onto the computer desktop of your presentation room. Please send your final presentation to Emily at support@mopaonline.org by Thursday afternoon in order to do this. We ask you ALSO bring a back up copy on a jump drive or email it to yourself to ensure we have you covered (we all know technology!)
Handouts:
Each speaker is welcome to bring any handouts to those attending the breakout session (as there are no large-scale printing services on site.)
Room Setup:
We have two dedicated breakout rooms where most sessions will be held in a classroom-style, with tables for your audience. The Panel and larger presentations will be in an auditorium-style room held in a room in the .
Proctors:
Each room will have a proctor (either a MOPA Board Member or a volunteer) to help manage the CEU process and assist you in any way possible during your session.
Room Assignments & A/V Support:
Each room will have a PC-based laptop, a projector/screen and a handheld "clicker" to help you advance your slides. Due to a very aggressive schedule, we will not have a large amount of time between sessions, so we ask that you show up to your scheduled session as soon as possible to ensure your presentation is set up and you are ready to go. As noted, we hope to have all presentations on each computer prior to each session so, in essence, you just need to show up! Please let Emily Dahlbeck know if you have specific A/V needs and we will work to accommodate you.
