Other Conference Information
Presenters
Please arrive at your presentation room a
few minutes early to meet your moderator and to discuss minor
logistics and potential computer technical
difficulties with your presentation. Oral presentations are 45 minutes
in length. All computers in the presentation
rooms have direct access to the Internet and are interfaced
with an overhead projector. The computers
are PC.
If you wish to connect your
own technology (laptops, iPads, etc.) to our venues’ existing audio/video
systems to deliver or enhance
your presentation, you will need to provide your own VGA adapter,
converter or dongle. Arizona
Western College’s digital-projection systems do not support HDM, DVI,
Apple Mini Displayport, or
other video output sources. Please contact Josue Figueroa
(josue.figueroa@azwestern.edu) if
you would like additional information about the college’s technology
offerings, or if you require
assistance determining what type of equipment you need. To ensure a prompt
email response from Josue, in the email Subject:
line please write AWC 2YC3 Chemistry Conference.
Please be advised that permission may be
sought from you to digitally record your presentation. If you agree to
have your presentation digitally recorded,
then your presentation will be uploaded and archived on the 2YC3
website. Only 2YC3 members have
access to the archives.
Hotel Shuttle
The two conference hotels are located across the
street from one another. The hotels are approximately
8 miles from the AWC campus. A shuttle van operated by
the hotels will be available at selected times for
roundtrip transportation
between AWC and the two hotels. But please be advised that the shuttle van has
limited seating capacity (8
occupants) so you may have to wait (perhaps a long time) for a shuttle ride.
Hence, it may be prudent to rent a car (or carpool with another
conference attendee staying in the same
hotel) should you want to
potentially avoid having to wait.
Wireless
Access
Wi-Fi is available on the AWC main campus where
the conference proceedings will take place. A password
to access the network is not required.
Friday
Evening Banquet
If you reserved a meal for the Friday
night banquet, a ticket will be provided when you pick up your registration
packet.
Receipts
If you paid by check, then a receipt will
be provided when you pick up your registration packet.
