Speaker Preparation RoomThroughout the conference the Speaker Preparation Room is available for your use to aid you in any final preparations for your presentation. When in the speaker preparation room, please be aware of other speakers who may have urgent needs for equipment in this room.You will find in this room most of the equipment that is available in session rooms, including an overhead projector, 35mm slide viewer, video player and computer support. There will be light tables if you need to do some last-minute organization of slides (although we strongly suggest you have your slides ordered and ready before you arrive at the conference). You may borrow the 80-slide carousels to use for your presentation and return them afterwards. Blank overhead foils will also be available. There will be a computer in this room which you may use for last-minute materials preparation. Please bring a licensed copy of the application software you need (no applications software will be pre-loaded). There will also be a Super VHS videotape player for queuing tapes. Speaker Rehearsal RoomThis room will be set up for practicing your presentation and will be equipped with the same standard equipment as in the session rooms. The speaker preparation room will have a sign-up sheet for reserving time slots in the rehearsal room. We suggest you reserve the room for your desired time well in advance, as this room tends to be in high demand.Lead Speaker's BreakfastOn the day of your presentation you should attend the speakers' breakfast and orientation. The breakfast is complimentary for one presenters from each of the accepted submissions in most areas. A list of these areas is below. At this meeting you will be addressed by a member of the Technical Program committee. Technology Support (AV and Computing) will also instruct you on equipment available in your room and answer any last-minute questions. Please plan to attend.Remember: this is an invitation for one of the presenters of each submission in the following areas: Papers, Panels, Formal Demonstrations, Late-Breaking Results, Special Interest Groups, and Tutorials. Session RoomsCheck your final program to confirm when and where you will be presenting. You should arrive at least 20 minutes before your session starts. You can use this time to arrange your materials, meet the student volunteer who will assist you, try all of the audio-visual and computer equipment and learn the stage layout.Throughout your session, a CHI student volunteer will be present to assist you with equipment operation and to help solve any problems that might arise. They can help you with the microphone and set up, test and operate the equipment in the room or liaison with the professional staff on duty. Remember to arrive early enough to complete activities before the session begins. In all but the smallest session rooms, there will be a stage. For safety reasons, please use the stairs to ascend and descend from the stage. All your requested audio-visual and computer equipment will be in the room. It is possible that other equipment will also be in the room, for use by other speakers sharing that room throughout the day. Please do not try to operate any equipment in the room that you did not specifically request as other equipment may already may have been specially set up. There will normally be two projection screens in the room, at one side of the stage.
