Hello UBTech speakers. Here is some information that will help you prepare for your presentation:

Managing your room
It is very important that all sessions begin and end on time. Please be respectful of speakers and activities that follow yours by ending exactly at the 40 minute mark and leaving your room promptly. Session rooms will be moderated by a UB editor who will greet you and get the session started with a brief introduction (name, title, institution and session title). The moderator will also signal you when your time is almost up. (If a moderator is unavailable for your session, please begin your presentation by greeting the audience and introducing yourself. At the end of your session, please remind attendees to evaluate it on our mobile app.)

Technology
Please bring your computer to your presentation and use it to display your slides. We will not have loaner computers. Before you come to the conference, please familiarize yourself with the steps for connecting your computer to a projector. Be sure to bring the appropriate connection dongle if needed.

In each presentation room there will be:

• A podium with attached microphone
• A wireless lav mic
• A projector, with VGA & HDMI connectors. We’ll have some Mac adapters but we encourage you to bring your own. Projectors will be set for 16:9.
• An audio connector for your computer’s headphone jack
• WiFi and a hard-wired internet connection at the podium

Session evaluations
The highest-rated sessions are those that (a) give attendees actionable ideas that they can take back to their campuses and (b) that answer the question, “So what?” by identifying key stakeholder benefits. Specifically, attendees will evaluate your session on our conference app by answering these five questions:

1. Was the speaker’s presentation in line with what you expected from the program description?
2. Did the speaker hold your interest with an engaging, well-organized presentation?
3. Did you get new information and ideas that you can apply to your work?
4. Your overall rating of this session. (1-5, with 5 being best)
5. Please provide additional comments about the session. (Open-response)

We will share the evaluations of your session with you after we finish the tabulations.

Facebook group
Did you know there’s a Facebook group for UBTech? We invite you to join the group and participate in the conversation, perhaps by posting a fun fact about yourself, your school or your presentation. Join here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ubtech
