If you have a different software requirement, it should still be possible for you to attach your own computer to the projector if you bring it with you, although this is definitely a less reliable approach. The projectors have inputs for Windows PCs only (not Macintosh). We strongly urge you to send us your PPT files in advance so they can be preloaded on the computers. Although everyone feels they want to be able to change their slides up to the last minute, it slows down the meeting if each author is plugging cables and rebooting computers between papers – and it doesn’t always work! Having the files preloaded means we can easily click from one presentation to the next. At the very least, it would be smoother to bring a copy of your PPT file on a CD-R, or on a USB "key drive" (we cannot read zip disks or floppies at the conference site) so they can be popped into the computer already attached to the projector.
The computers we will use also have a “radio mouse” so you can change the slides while striding around.
Please e-mail your PPT file to geothermal@sesmail.stanford.edu, and we will write the file onto the CD in preparation for the meeting. Files should arrive at Stanford no later than 4pm January 29, 2010.
If sending us files, when you save the presentation in PowerPoint check the box that says “Embed TrueType Fonts”. This avoids problems if you are using any exotic fonts not present on the presentation machine (or even on your own laptop).
Authors are asked to sign the check-in board in the registration area when they arrive, so we can keep track of who is present. The presentations will be 20 mins in duration, plus 5 mins for questions (25 mins in total).
Thanks for participating in the Stanford Geothermal Workshop -- see
you there!
