Audio-Visual Equipment

The ASA will supply all session rooms with a Digital Equipment Package. Included: LCD/multimedia data projector, with speakers, laptop (MS Powerpoint, CD, & DVD capable, PC but MAC compatible), screen, and on site technical support. Not included: live internet connection. If you want additional digital equipment, WIFI, or live internet connection you will have to rent it at your own expense. If you want to use analog equipment such as an Overhead Projector, Slide Projectors, or TV/VCR/DVD’s, you will have to bring your own equipment or rent it at your own expense.

We have been asked about the possible use of Skype to accommodate individual panelists who do not attend the meeting in person. This is NOT an option. Skype is a very unsatisfactory medium for video-conferencing with a group. The picture quality when blown up to a necessary size for a group is very poor, and the speaker at the remote location will not be able to identify questioners.

Internet access at Hilton Washington?

The main Lobby and the Restaurants on the Lobby area have complimentary internet (the Business Center does offer complimentary internet). The hotel will also provide complimentary wireless internet connections in the Concourse and Terrace level foyer spaces which will give the group the capability to tweet the meeting.

Internet access in the meeting rooms at Washington Hilton?
