Audiovisual
|

Each session room will be preset with the following: one LCD projector and cables, one screen, and one microphone and sound system (if necessitated by room size). A 1/2" VHS VCR and monitor, an overhead projector, and/or a 35-mm slide projector will only be provided if requested by presenters on their abstract submittal forms. Please note that computers will not be provided with the computer projectors, and it is the responsibility of each presenter to bring or arrange for a computer on their own. As a backup, presenters planning to use the computer projectors should also come prepared to give their presentation by some other means (e.g., overhead projector) in case of any problems. Any additional audiovisual requirements, or equipment not requested with the abstract submittal, will be at cost to the presenter. If your authors require any additional AV, please e-mail AIAA at jeanr@aiaa.org or have them fax their requests to Jean Riley at 703.264.7551 by 3 August 2009.
