My background is as an instructional designer and a technologist
Many of you may have participated in a survey of the 2011 conference attendees in which we asked about WiFi at the 2012 conference. That survey clearly indicated that WiFi in the meeting space was desired with the caveat that it not be an added to charge to the registration fees. That was a tall order! The ACC tasked the staff to negotiate the best deal possible to see if this was even feasible. Luckily, this year, we were able to negotiate a package that was reasonable enough to do. We have been soliciting support funding to make it available at no charge to attendees. Additionally, we negotiated a lower price for the guest room internet charges as well. Please be aware that just because we have been able to do this for 2012, it may not always be feasible and possible to do in future years as hotel properties differ in what they will offer and negotiate. This is a consideration of which you should be aware as you consider WiFi options for your own conferences.
In all of the plenary and mini plenary rooms we negotiated for the In Kind Support from an ARS provider to have ARS technology. We have commitments from most of our plenary and mini plenary speakers to use it. In many of the break out sessions, there are faculty committed to using technology in their sessions. They may be teaching about the use of a technology in CPD or they may be using a technology to teach. Social media will again be used to engage others at the conference. You will recall it was used impromptu at the 2011 meeting with some even tweeting from the podium!! This year there will be a conference hashtag that we will tell you more about. We will also have presence on Facebook and Linked In.
Last year: 8% of sessions were tech-related. This year (2012): 13% (22) Last year: 19% of posters were tech related This year: 21% (7)
