Internet Access
There is adequate WiFi (50 Mbps) connection at the venue in all rooms. However, streaming video is not recommended. If your presentation includes video, please bring it on a file that can be played without an internet connection.

Photo/Recording Waiver
Human interaction through networking, and dissemination of this knowledge, is at the core of what IAFOR does as an academic research organisation, conference organiser and publisher. As part of the archiving of the conference event, IAFOR takes photos in and around the conference venue and uses the photos to document the event. This also includes the filming of certain sessions. We consider this documentation important and it provides evidence of our activities to members, partners and stakeholders all over the world, as well as to current and potential attendees like you. Some of these photos will therefore appear online and in print, including on social media. The above are the legitimate interests of the organisation that we assert under the new European Union law on General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Under this legislation, you have an absolute right to opt out of any photo. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. Read our full privacy policy – iafor.org/about/privacy-policy

Computers and Equipment
All rooms will be equipped with a MacBook computer pre-installed with PowerPoint which is connected to an LCD projector. If you wish, you may directly link your own PC laptop, although we advise you to use the computer provided by plugging in your USB flash drive. We recommend that you bring a backup copy of your presentation in case one fails, and suggest sending yourself the presentation by email as a final precaution.
