Q.
What about technology needs for my presentation?
A.
Most rooms come fully equipped with the latest presentation
technology and high-speed Internet access. We only ask
that you bring your laptop. Reason is to ensure that
your presentation works the way you set it up. However,
it is okay if you don’t want to bring your own
laptop. We will have a laptop available. Do come with
a flash drive of your presentation and we’ll work
with that. As a back-up plan, you may also place the
material online at your institution.
Q.
What happens to my paper after the conference?
A.
Possibly, publication. The paper will undergo blind

Institute for Global Initiatives journal, the Journal
of Global Initiatives.
