Technology

Please bring any iPhones, tablets, computers, etc. that you want!

Speakers wishing to use a projector should know you'll be using a HDMI connector (so bring a dongle if you need it).

Free Wi-Fi will be available in (or immediately near) the cafeteria this year. Beyond that, the availability of a cell phone signal at Rock Eagle has greatly improved over what it has been in the past — thus providing another option for getting "connected".

You can follow this year's conference on Twitter @gctm_math, and — if you wish — feel free to join the conversation on the conference by including the hashtag #GCTM2023 in your tweets and Facebook posts.
