Want to form your own interest
or discussion groups? Schedule your own presentations? The best
times for this are during the last half hour of Saturday and Sunday
Lunch, Saturday Dinner, Saturday after 9pm for formal presentations,
and Sunday after 5:30pm (a local restaurant would be ideal for this
latter time, as the conference rooms will be disassembling).
You can easily form small groups at your dining table (our tables
seat eight, and we will have table signs available for your use),
in the lobby, on the patios, or anywhere else you choose. If you
have a laptop and slides, presentation facilities (screen and LCD
projector) are available in the Cypress Room on Saturday
after 9pm. Email
us if you'd like to schedule this room for 30 or 60 min blocks
from 9pm to midnight. Feel free to simply use your laptop in the
lobby or out on the patios for impromptu presentations as well,
at any time—AC2005 exists for your benefit.
Post your topic, time and meeting location on the Birds
of a Feather Bulletin Board in the Lobby and let the flocking
begin! |
