BYO Notebook Computer to the ECAWA Conference

Thanks to our generous supporter EFTel, a wireless network will operate throughout the Conference venue. This will provide presenters and delegates who have wireless enabled computers with access to the Conference Network as well as to the internet. Please bring your notebook computer to use in any of the ‘hands on’ workshops.

As the Conference approaches presenters will list any software that you will need to use in their workshop and indicate if this may be downloaded from a particular website in advance of the Conference or if it will be available from the ICT Support Team at the Conference. Delegates and presenters will not be able to download large files over the wireless network, so please do this before you arrive.

Because delegates will use their own wireless enabled notebook computers on the Conference network for ‘hands on’ workshops, they will, in most cases, be able to continue to use the full or trial versions of software installed on their own computer for the remainder of the trial period, after the Conference.

Important:

If you are using a school owned notebook computer, please enure that you have enough 'rights' to be able to connect to the Conference network and to install any files or software that you wish to use.

Please also ensure that your notebook computer and any other equipment that you are bringing to the Conference, as well as any power packs, cables, etc are all labelled with your name and a contact telephone number, so that they can be returned to you quickly if they are misplaced.
