WHAT TO EXPECT
AV & PRESENTATION INFORMATION
Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of your first session (if repeating) to set up your laptop and prepare handouts, etc.
The session moderator will introduce themselves and review the session logistics with you.
The general session and breakout rooms will have a projector, screen, lectern with microphone, speakers, and required cables. Please bring your own laptop. An HDMI cable will be provided for hooking your laptop up to the projector. Please check to make sure your computer has an HDMI connection; some adaptors will be available if needed. Mac laptops will require an adaptor; please bring your own and allow extra time for setting up. If you need tech assistance, please ask one of the staff onsite.
All sessions are AIA certified; as such you are required to include specific slides at the beginning of your presentation. Download the slide template here.
SPEAKER REGISTRATION
CCFM members, corporate members, as well as other professionals in our industry serve as speakers in our program. Because each speaker’s involvement is different, we ask that you work directly with the CCFM staff to officially register for the conference. Our staff will reach out to you with specifics. Your registration ensures that we have appropriate counts for all events and that your badge is ready for you.
*New this Year* – In April an additional special event RSVP will be sent via email; please reply when you receive this email.
If you are not a registered attendee or corporate member, you are welcome to enjoy the conference on the day of your session only. Please register for the full conference for additional access.
