Book your hotel via onPeak here. Please note that onPeak is the only trusted hotel vendor endorsed by The WorkBoat Show.
IMPORTANT: To confirm your presentation timeslot, please send your track chair a PDF copy of your presentation by December 1st.
Then, all presentations MUST be on a USB drive and downloaded in PowerPoint 16:9 / wide screen format and downloaded onto the provided laptops. Our A/V system does not support any presentation that is stored on an online format like Google Slides or online video presentations. There is not dedicated wifi. Speakers are responsible for bringing the correct format of presentation.
There will be a A/V desk for the UI Conference Areas with A/V techs. They will have a schedule and list of all presenters and sessions that are taking place within that area. Each presenter is responsible for delivering presentation materials (slide decks) directly to the A/V tech in the correct room at least 30 minutes prior to the session beginning. We ask that speakers, with or without presentation materials, plan to be in the room and available for mic/stage set up at least 15 minutes in advance of the session beginning.
The rooms include podiums (with microphones), hand held microphones for each speaker, bottled water (just off stage & on podium shelf). Those using slides will be given a slide advancer.
We will be using low chairs on the stage so please take this into consideration when planning clothing.
