The talks will be chosen, scheduled and moderated by members of The Irish Contingent chaired by Joe O'Farrell.
NOTE: If you intend to give a talk and wish to include images here are some guidelines and suggestions:
1) For the Satuday sessions in Dublin and the Sunday sessions in Athy (which will not be as extensive), we will have both a Mac and a Windows laptop. We will project images in any of three formats: PowerPoint (Windows & Mac), Keynote (Mac) or Adobe Acrobat PDF (either Windows or Mac).
We will also have various "dongles" if you wish to bring your images on your laptop and use that. Our preference, however, is that you bring any images on a Thumbdrive.To avoid glitches, ideally when you have your files completed send them on to Kevin Kenny who will be overseeing our A/V. He is at kennykevin@gmail.com Phone: +353 (89) 444 3727
As an example, I sent files to Kevin for my two talks (which I will only give if we have time left over) in the three formats noted above via WeTransfer, which I find easier to use than DropBox. Just go to its website: https://wetransfer.com/ It's free and you don't need to set up any account to use it (as I recall).
Kevin reported back that he had no problem receiving my files.
The advantage of this is that Kevin will have an opportunity to check out your files and make sure that everything works correctly.
