*Note: AV Not Supported

*Since installing and maintaining projectors and screens in the convention venue’s presentation rooms is cost-prohibitive, the MMLA will not be supplying the AV equipment needed to support PowerPoint, Keynote, etc., slide projection at its 2026 convention.  Presenters interested in supplementing their spoken remarks with visual aids are encouraged to bring printed handouts to distribute to audience members attending their sessions.  Alternatively, presenters may wish to distribute QR codes enabling audience members to view a remote slide presentation on their mobile devices, as described in the YouTube video linked here.  Please direct all technical questions about such alternatives to the information technology support staff at your institution.
