Exchange Session Schedule w/ Presentation Descriptions
The meeting rooms will have a laptop, Internet access, and projector if you need them. You will be asked to keep the length of your presentation to 10 minutes or less. If you would like to distribute handouts to the meeting, plan on bringing at least 30 per session. If you have presentation materials that you would like posted to the BPE website, please email them to Marisa Ramirez at mramirez@lib.az.us.
Exchange Session Format
The discussion sessions will cover six broad tracks related to digital information in the government environment. The specific content of each session, however, will be determined by the meeting attendees who have agreed to present their experience and session participants who participate in the discussion.
Each exchange session will have a facilitator who will be responsible for keeping the discussion on topic and fully interactive and participatory. Results of each exchange session will be shared and discussed in the Closing Wrap-Up session.
Time length, visual aids & handouts
Time Length: Contributions or presentations should last no longer 10 minutes, with the remainder of the time period of each session devoted to discussion.
Computer Visual Aids: There will be a projector and computer with high-speed Internet access available for any visual aids or demonstrations you might want to do; however a formal presentation is not required. If you do wish to use the computer for a presentation, we recommend you bring your presentation on a portable flash memory drive.
Handouts: You will be responsible for bringing any handouts you want to give to participants. If you would like to distribute handouts, plan on bringing at least 30 per session.
