Would this session be suitable for inclusion in the Shabbat programme? Do not tick this box unless you will be attending for Shabbat. Remember that Limmud observes Shabbat in all public areas, and that certain resources may therefore not be available for sessions taking place on Shabbat.

Resources Required (tick as required) Please note that we only have limited digital resources, so please limit your request to resources which are essential to your session. Presenters should also be aware that there will only be limited technical support at Conference. I intend to bring my own laptop and wish to plug it into a digital projector I will require the use of a computer, and will bring a file to present on a CD/DVD or USB key The computer presentation will contain a video/sound file I will show a DVD The DVD will be Region 1 (USA) I will show a VHS tape The VHS will be NTSC (USA) I will play CDs I will play music from an MP3 player I will require a cassette player I will require a slide projector for 35mm slides I will require an overhead projector to display A4 acetate sheets Live music amplification (further performer request form will be provided)
Presenters travelling from abroad should ensure that their equipment is compatible with UK voltage and format requirement. UK voltage is 240V, and equipment manufactured outside the UK will require an electrical socket converter. If you are concerned as to whether your equipment will be compatible in the UK please ask your programming team contact.

Special Resources Requests Limmud will do its best to supply other basic resources, such as stationery items. Please specify your requirements here and we will confirm if we are able to meet them:

We are keen to reduce the amount of paper which is used at Conference, and would prefer only to provide handouts where participants will need to refer to the handout to follow the session or where there is material which cannot be presented on a screen. Where the material is for participants to refer to later, we are planning to provide the facility for participants to download materials after Conference from the website, for those presenters who wish to make use of this. We can arrange to have handouts copied, where a handout is necessary for the session, but we would ask that if at all possible you provide this in advance, by Friday 10 December. We can copy up to 40 double sided sheets per session (total copying quantity, ie 40 copies of one double-sided page, or 10 copies of 4 double-sided pages). Please indicate here if you will have a handout which you will be asking us to copy.
