Information for Speakers

A few helpful things to consider when preparing your presentation.

Choosing presentation device

• The presentation room has a desktop computer (Windows OS), or you can plug in your own device.
• To present from the desktop machine: put slides on a thumb drive, or access them using a browser.
• Presenting from own device: prepare to check your device connection before presentation.
• If you need an Internet connection eduroam is available at Augusta University campus.

Preparing the slides

• The projection screen has 16:9 ratio and is the recommended aspect ratio for slides.
• There are two TV screens behind the audience that mirror the projected screen; it is possible to view slides even when facing the audience.

Planning the speech

• We have 4 lapel and hand-held microphones – if you prefer to move around, use a lapel mic.
• We have USB clicker/s. Connecting the clicker to an Apple laptop requires a dongle.
• There are two whiteboards and markers located around the projection screen.
• There are two speaker podiums around the room.
