Speakers who receive and accept a formal invitation from the NCTSC Program Subcommittee will receive complimentary registration to the event. Select “Speaker” when you register.
Hotel
Hotel room costs (room rate and tax) will be covered only for speakers traveling 35+ miles to the Greenville Convention Center. State of NC policy allows hotel per diem only for persons traveling 35+ miles from their duty station or home, whichever is less, to their final travel destination.
One night of a speaker’s hotel stay will be directly billed to GHSP for each day that a speaker presents. Any additional room nights (for non-presentation days) and incidental room charges will be billed to the speaker’s credit card.
All breakout rooms will be set with theater-style seating. There will be a head table, podium, microphone, LCD projector with VGA cable, screen, sound for laptop presentation, and a clicker.
You will need to bring your own laptop to run your presentation.
If you need additional audiovisual equipment beyond what is listed above, you will need to submit your request by March 4, 2024 to speaker@nctrafficsafetyconference.org.
The NC Traffic Safety Conference & Expo provides most audiovisual equipment requested, but some equipment may be cost prohibitive. In this case, we will contact you to discuss alternative equipment.
Wireless Internet
Wireless Internet will be available in the meeting rooms; however, the WiFi signal strength and bandwidth at the time of your presentation cannot be guaranteed. If web access is needed for your presentation, you are strongly encouraged to run the web files locally (from the computer’s hard drive) rather than attempting to access the files via the WiFi connection.
Room Monitor
There will be a room monitor in your session to help answer questions you may have. When you arrive to your assigned room, please look for the monitor wearing a staff badge. The room monitor will give you information about your session, introduce you, and handle any audiovisual needs that may arise.
Speaker Ready Room
There will be a Speaker Ready Room at the convention center for you to rehearse or edit your presentation prior to your session. Room TBA.
Speaker Accommodations
We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. To request accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact speaker@nctrafficsafetyconference.org.
The NC Traffic Safety Conference & Expo will not print workshop handouts to distribute during the conference. Handouts can be posted on the conference mobile app.
Deadline for submitting handouts is March 22, 2024.
