A/V Needs | Here is a link to the Audiovisual Request Form. This form will ensure that everything you need on the stage will be ready to go when you are.    

Please make sure all provided information is titled with your name, your session title, and the date of your session.

• PowerPoint: Please submit your presentation via email, Dropbox, Google Slides, or another common file transfer service.  Make sure the file is properly identified with your name, your session title, and the date of your session. Let us know if there are any flash, video or audio files included in your PowerPoint.
• Format: We plan for PC-formatted files by default, so please let us know if your files are formatted for MAC. We can accomodate PC and MAC files alike, as long as we’re alerted by September 1. Please let us know if your version of PowerPoint is older than 2003.  
• Images/Photos for Projection: High-resolution JPEG files are acceptable—however, we suggest that you find (and use) the largest picture available. If you send your images one by one, please include a list of the images’ order, with image identification. We recommend that you use a vector file (EPS or AI) for logos.  
• Video: We prefer MOV or MP4 files. Please specify which file format you will provide and whether it is embedded into your PowerPoint or if it needs to be played separately.  If you intend to play your video separately, please let us know when you’d like the video to play during your presentation.
• Music: If you have theme songs or music in your presentation, please forward them along with your other information by September 1.
• Backup: Backup, backup, and backup again. WebPT should receive the show-ready master file—and we recommend that you back up (and bring) an additional copy of the presentation to the show site.
