APHA-Film & Technology Theater The Film & Technology Theater is an environment for live presentations of information and computer technology applications for public health and for the showing of public health films and related audiovisuals. It is a fully equipped meeting room with Internet access, LCD projection capability, and theater-quality video projection and stereo audio. Technology dependent sessions will be shown in the morning sessions; public health films in the afternoon and evening sessions. The Film & Technology Theater provides speakers with the following equipment:
Software loaded onto the computer includes:
All abstracts for possible presentation in this environment should be submitted to the Section, SPIG or Caucus with members who would be most interested in the topic. You should also indicate when you write your abstract that you are technology dependent (require special technology not provided by APHA or access to the Internet) and wish to present in the Film and Technology Theater. What does technology dependency mean to you as a speaker? You must need one or more of:
It helps to think about the words: interactivity, Internet and real-time demonstrations, audio-visual, DVDs The abstracts will be reviewed by peer reviewers/content experts within the Section, SPIG, or Caucus. If enough technology dependent abstracts are accepted to fill one session, the Program Chair will schedule the session with the Film & Technology Theater Program Planner. If only a few abstracts are accepted by the Program Committee, the Film & Technology Theater Program Planner will combine the abstracts for a cosponsored Session. The Film & Technology Theater Program Planner will do her best to bring related talks together into one session, but this is not always possible. Please note there are only a limited number of time slots that can be accommodated in the Technology Center. If your accepted abstract cannot be scheduled for presentation in the Technology Center, all costs for additional AV equipment will be the responsibility of the individual presenter. (Equipment costs listed below). If you have specialized software that you would like to demonstrate, ask to be put in the Technology Theater. You may distribute freeware/shareware in the form of CDs for people to use at the annual meeting. Please let me know ahead of time if you need to load software. Similarly, if you have special equipment needs and are assigned to the Technology Theater, contact me as soon as you know so that I can ensure the equipment you need is available. I can be reached at this email address Just as a reminder, do NOT send abstracts to the Film & Technology Theater. Send them to your Section, SPIG or Caucus for scientific review. Indicate that you wish to present in the Film & Technology Theater, however, if you wish to present there. Cost Information for Technology If you are not presenting in the Technology Theater and require additional technology for your presentation elsewhere in the meeting, there are costs associated.
