The essentials

By now, you probably have all the essentials in place – traveling tickets if you come from out of town, and hotel. If not, it's probably a good idea to get this fixed.

Your talk

Your talk is listed in the program. It is a good idea to find out when you are up already now. You might also want to read through the info listed to ensure that everything is correct.

Your slides

You never know what might happen, so it is always a good idea to keep a backup of your talk somewhere else than your computer – memory stick, Dropbox or something similiar.

Guided tour

Never been to JavaZone, or just curious to see the venue? We will have a guided tour for speakers at Tuesday September 8th, 18:00. Meet us at the main entrance

Speakers dinner

This years speakers dinner will be held at Smelteverket, Mathallen Tuesday September 8th, starting at 19:00. We will provide transport from Oslo Spektrum to Smelteverket after the guided tour ends at around 18:45. If you don't want to attend the guided tour, it is perfectly possible to show up at Smelteverket at 19:00 or later.

The conference is, as always, located at Oslo Spectrum. Regardless if you're having a workshop, presentation or lightning talk, this is where you will be having it. For those of you who are new to Oslo – this is more or less in the heart of the city (well, not quite, but no more than a five minute walk from the main street!).

As a speaker, you have access to the Speakers Lounge in addition to the rest of Oslo Spektrum. This can be a good place to relax or look over your presentation a few times before you're up.

Your presentation

To ensure that everything goes as smooth as possible, everyone are asked to arrive at their designated presentation room 20 minutes before the start of the session. In practice, this means that you should show up at the end of the session just before you. Each room has a technician that will help you with connecting your laptop to the projector, and with the microphone. Testing your laptop on the projector is especially important if you have a lightning talk – there won't be time for big projector troubles during the talk.

If you are having a workshop the day before the conference (Tuesday, September 8th), we will meet you at the entrance and guide you to the workshop rooms. You should still meet 20 minutes before the start of your workshop to get set up.

Speakers Wall

Don't forget to drop by the javaBin stand and sign our "JavaZone 2015 Speakers Wall" sometime during the conference.

Spread the word!

Help us spread the word by tweeting about your talk. Use the hashtag #JavaZone, and we'll make sure to retweet you. We also publish the videos of your talk pretty fast after the conference, so please share this with your network as well.

Computers

You are encouraged to use your own computer for your presentation. Each room is configured to run presentations from both PCs and Macs. If you are planning on using anything else (tablets, phones, or anything else), please notify us.

Projectors

The optimal screen resolution for the projectors are 1920x1080 (16/9 screen format), but other resolutions are of course supported. The video signal will be 60Hz in all auditoriums.

Connectors

The projectors support VGA, HDMI and DVI. If you need displayport or mini displayport, you probably want to bring your own adapter. Don't hesitate to contact technicians or the staff if you have any problems.

Internet

What's a conference without internet? The whole of Oslo Spektrum is equiped with wireless network (SSID: JavaZone), and all auditoriums have cable network.

Microphones

Each room will have two headsets and one handheld microphone.

Audio

Each room is equipped with a 3.5" audio jack. If you plan on using audio during your presentation it might also be a good idea to notify the technician.

Water

Although arguably not a technical point, each presentation room will have water available for the speaker.

JavaZone has 7 different tracks running at all times. This means we have 7 different presentation rooms. Each room is a little different, both in terms of layout and how many seats there are.
