A Note about Internet Access
Wireless Internet is available throughout the hotel. DO NOT count on it for your presentations. We have a decidedly geeky crowd with lots of gadgets and frequently overrun the hotel Internet, no doubt exactly when you need it most. If there is no way around it and you absolutely MUST have internet access to do your presentation, email program@balticon.org. We may be able to work something out.
Questions for Tech
Balticon Tech provides the behind-the-scenes glue that binds the convention together. If you require help from Tech, let them know in this section.

Slide projectors are not available from Tech. Panelists with slides need to  provide their own projector.

Computers are not provided by Tech. You must bring your own or arrange for one. Balticon will not take responsibility for this.

We recommend that you email a backup copy of your presentation to program@balticon.org in case Murphy is having a busy day and chooses your laptop, DVD, or flash drive to trifle with.
Video Projector or HDMI receptive TV
Do you need audio/visual equipment for use with a laptop or other source?  If you are giving a presentation and would like us to provide a projector, tell us here.  NOTE: we do not provide computers!
Clear selection
Output ports if known
We can handle VGA, DVI, and composite output. Some of our projectors can also handle HDMI. You will need to bring adapters for other types of ports. We cannot guarantee HD projection; please contact us via email to program@balticon.org and tech@balticon.org to request it.
What will you be using as a video source?
In this case, the source is what you will be bringing to Balticon to do your presentation. Please provide as much information as you can, including make, model and operating system..
ELMO
If you are giving a presentation and would like us to provide a document/3D presentation camera and platform, tell us here.
