Annual Conference
Audio/Visual and Tech FAQs

Will there be a laptop available in the my meeting room?
Sorry, but no. With as many as 18 sessions being held concurrently, it's cost prohibitive to rent that many laptops for the four day span of the conference. We suggest that sessions participants coordinate amongst themselves so that perhaps only one participant brings his/her laptop and the rest bring their presentations on compatible portable media such as a CD or USB thumb drive. If nobody is bringing a laptop, you may consider renting one from the Sheraton by calling Robert at 808-931-8599.

Will there be a digital projector in my meeting room?
Yes. Please visit your meeting room before your session to make sure you are able to connect your laptop to the projector without too much delay and configuration. There will be AV techs available to assist you, but their response time is often five to ten minutes so plan ahead in case you need their help.

Will there be an overhead projector in my meeting room?
Yes. There will be an overhead projector and screen in each meeting room. There are pens normally provide as well, but if you want to have specific colors, please bring your own just in case. 

Will there be Internet access in each meeting room?
No. If you need Internet access (it will be at your own expense), please contact Robert at the Sheraton at 808-931-8599. There is open wireless AP in the hotel lobby if you simply need a place to stop and check your e-mail.

Will there be whiteboards and flipcharts in each meeting room?
Whiteboards and flipcharts can be made available if needed but will not be there by default. Please call the WEAI office at 714-965-8800 so that we can have one available for you.

I use a Mac, will that be compatible with the digital projector?
A special adapter is required to interface with Mac. Those are available through the AV company, but you must make arrangements beforehand to have the adapter waiting for you in your meeting room before your session starts. Please contact Robert at the Sheraton at 808-931-8599.
