CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY

All requests for refunds MUST be e-mailed to the SCMS office at office@cmstudies.org and received no later than 5 PM CT, Friday, February 7, 2014. No cancellations by phone please.

Conference registration refunds will be processed at 80% of the amount paid.

AV POLICY

The following equipment will be standard in all panel/workshop rooms at the 2014 conference:

                • DVD Player (Region 1 - standard for USA & Canada)

                • LCD Projector (with audio)

                • Wireless Internet Access (you will need to obtain the password at registration)

• There will also be complimentary high speed internet access in guestrooms for guests booked in the group room block. You must book through The Sheraton Seattle and specify that you are part of the SCMS Annual Conference.

Because the cost of equipping rooms with computers is prohibitively expensive, we must ask you to bring your own laptop if you plan to use projection. If you have an Apple computer, you will need to bring any necessary adapters/connectors. Panels and workshops with multiple presentations using projection are encouraged to coordinate before their session time to have all presentations on a single computer or flash drive. Please Note: we have made efforts to have multi-standard DVD players, but it is not cost feasible so please make plans to convert your media if needed. Most multi-region DVDs can be played from laptop computers, and thus projected like PowerPoint/Keynote presentations. Please test any multi-standard DVDs before arriving at the conference. Wireless internet access will be provided in the panel/workshop rooms and conference space. Additionally, we will not be offering overhead projectors, slide projectors, CD players and/or additional audio components.

If you have questions about AV or the Society’s audiovisual policy, please contact Leslie LeMond, Conference Manager at <leslielemond@scmsconference.com>.
