Computer Data Projection

In order to avoid trouble arising from software incompatibility, the organizing committee recommends speakers to use their own laptop computer with an analog VGA (mini D-SUB 15 pin) connector for data projection. Please bring the AC 100V power adaptor for your computer. A VGA cable will be available to use.

Please bring your computer or USB flash drive with you to the session room 30 minutes before the start of your session and make sure you have tested your data projection in advance. Please visit the Speaker Preview Room one day before if you are using a USB flash drive. (See below for more details)

Please turn off the sleep-mode and screen saver of your computer prior to your presentation. The computer must be kept powered-on and AC 100V power supplied throughout the session to avoid any trouble.

All the meeting rooms are equipped with one projector that can be connected to either your laptop or a conference PC (for USB flash drive users). The data on the USB flash drive must be compatible with either the English version Power Point (2007, 2010) or Adobe Reader (ver. 10) on the Windows 7 conference PC.

Speaker Preview Room

Please check the compatibility of your data with the conference projection system in advance to ensure that your presentation can be correctly displayed. Speakers are fully responsible for the functionality of their presentations. If you bring a USB flash drive containing your presentation, please visit the Speaker Preview Room one day before. The Speaker Preview Room is Room 104 on the 1st floor.

A technician in the Speaker Preview Room (Room 104 on the 1st floor) may assist you to solve problems that you may have with your presentation.
