* 1. Due to the last minute change in venue for the conference, we were not able to tie directly into the room's audio or slides and sometimes the timing of slides may be slightly off. In some presentations, the speaker made last minute changes to slides that may not appear in the recording.
2. Viewing of recordings is possible only on a PC and not on MACs. When you begin to view a recording, you will be asked if you want to use the Participant Application (a special viewer software) or a Java Application. If you choose the Java Application, you must wait several seconds for the Java software to download. There is no installation on your computer. You must be Java enabled. If you select to use the Participant Application, you will download the software and must install it on your computer. You will need to do this only once. When this application is installed, you can enter recorded (or live) events without waiting for the download and when viewing the presentation you have additional viewing options, such as going directly to any slide or portion of the presentation. Otherwise, the experience of viewing the recording is the same.
