What technology is available in the session rooms?
Every session room will have a projector or television screen.
Presenters should arrive 15 minutes early for a quick tech check. Limited on-site AV assistance is available, coordinated through the check-in desk or Conference staff.
What should you bring:
- Bring your own laptop or tablet if you wish to display slides or demos.
- Bring the correct adapters/dongles for HDMI (and any device-specific connectors).
- We encourage you to bring your presentation files on a USB drive as a backup.
Presentation formats:
- PowerPoint is standard; PDFs are a reliable fallback.
- If using video/audio, embed media and test playback on another device beforehand.
- We cannot provide support for Keynote/Prezi/Google Slides beyond screen-share from your own device.
- Campus Wi-Fi is available. Please design talks to function offline (embed media files; avoid cloud-only slides). If you have difficulty logging in, please visit the Check-In table.
Will slides/papers be collected?
Calvin does not collect slides by default. Presenters may share a link/QR at their discretion. Contact your track leader to see what the specific track requirements are.
Are remote/virtual presentations allowed?
All presentations must be delivered in person. We do not support hybrid/remote presentations for concurrent sessions.
If an emergency prevents attendance, notify cccs@calvin.edu immediately; session chairs may reallocate time. Remote delivery is not supported.
