that everything runs smoothly. Speaker
Ready Room technicians can work with
you to make sure your presentation is
error free.

In the Speaker Ready Room, you must
either confirm that your pre-loaded
final presentation is accurate and
complete (for those who uploaded
their presentations in advance, before
arriving in Los Angeles) or upload
your final presentation. You will also
be asked for permission to make your
presentation available online after the
Convention (excluding Short Courses).

Once you have reviewed and approved
your final presentation, it will be
transmitted to the computer in
your scheduled presentation room by
the Speaker Ready Room technicians.
The Speaker Ready Room process
ensures that presentations are problem
free and allows us to network session
rooms so that the presentation audio
and slides can be easily transmitted
into overflow rooms for at-capacity
sessions. Your participation is critical to
our success.

We recommend that you test your
files while in the Speaker Ready Room

animations appear as expected, that
