!1Dear Presenters at JSLS 2013, Thank you for presenting your paper at JSLS 2013. I have a couple of announcements to make regarding facilities and equipment at the conference site. *For oral presenters **We have old-type projectors, which require VGA connectors. **There will be a laptop computer (Windows 7) with MS PowerPoint 2010 installed in each conference room. **The easiest way to use PowerPoint during your presentation is to use the computer at the site. **You can make your presentation file with MS PowerPoint and bring it to the conference site on a USB flash drive or a CD. **You may use your own computer, but it requires a VGA port. There are VGA conversion adapters. However, some of them are known to have compatibility issues with particular projectors. **I strongly recommend for you to use the computer at the site or bring a computer that has a VGA port. **Also, please perform an operation check before your presentation. **If you would like to use some equipment other than a computer for your presentation, please contact me at akikano@kwassui.ac.jp *For poster presenters **The panel is 900mm in width and 2100mm in height. **You can check about the actual panel on the following site: (but, sorry, the descriptions are all in Japanese) **http://event21.co.jp/pan_005.htm **Please adjust the size of your posters so that they fit in the panel. **You can set up your posters using the thumbtacks provided in the poster session rooms. **The panel is not magnetic type. We are looking forward to seeing you soon. JSLS 2013 Conference Chair Akihiro Kano
