Frequently Asked Questions

Chairs for 1½-hour committee-vetted sessions

Do I and/or my speakers need to be CAA members in order to participate?
No. Membership is not required. If you would like to join CAA, please call 212-691-1051, ext. 12, or visit www.collegeart.org/membership/individual.html.

As a chair, do I receive complimentary registration?
No. If you would like to attend the conference in its entirety and receive a badge and conference publications, you must register for the conference.

Is there a place that I should check in at the conference?
There is no need to check in. If you have a question, please come to the Speaker Ready Room, located in the Room 410 on Level 2 Concourse of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Hours are: Wednesday and Saturday: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM; 1:30 to 6:00 PM; Thursday and Friday: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM; 1:30 to 7:30 PM. Do not send a speaker to the ready room; it is your responsibility to mediate between them and CAA.

Should I meet the speakers for my session before it starts?
It is a good idea to set up a time and place to meet your speakers onsite, individually or collectively, prior to your session.

Is there an internet connection in my session room?
Regretfully, the cost of providing internet access in meeting rooms is prohibitive and therefore not possible.

Does CAA provide my panel with a laptop?
No laptops will be provided. Please make arrangements prior to the conference. If you plan to use a Mac, you must bring your own connection cord or dongle.

Is my session room equipped with a digital projector?
All session rooms are equipped with digital projectors. If you plan to use a Mac, you must bring your own connection cord or dongle.

Is every session room equipped with slide projectors?
No. Slide projectors will not be provided in any session rooms unless you made a request by the July 1, 2008, deadline  Please confirm with your session chair to see if he or she has requested a slide projector for your session room.
           
If my session room does have slide projectors, are extra slide carousels available?
Yes. You may check out carousels from the Speaker Ready Room, located in the Room 410 on Level 2 Concourse of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Hours are: Wednesday and Saturday: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM; 1:30 to 6:00 PM; Thursday and Friday: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM; 1:30 to 7:30 PM.

Who do I talk to about AV equipment?
