Each Industry Education session room comes with chairs set up theater style based on the room’s capacity.It is the organizer’s responsibility to arrange and purchase any and all other services required or desired for your event,including audiovisual,food and beverage,labor services,etc。

At a minimum,sponsors of Industry Education sessions should order AV services so your speakers have equipment on which to give their presentation.We recommend a basic package of projector,screen,sound mixer,speakers,and three microphones–two mics for the speaker table/podium(either table tops or lavs)and one standing mic for audience questions。

Catering of some kind is also recommended as great way to attract and retain attendee’s attention throughout your session,as ASHG does not provide attendee meals。
