ACTE's Solutions Showcase goal is to provide education through the demonstration of leading technology products and services-without the distractions of "trade show hype". ACTE has secured the complete environment necessary for your exhibit to enable a turnkey operation. ACTE will provide the exhibiting booth, as well as a private LAN connection (to the internet) with a DCHP server and router. (The router will be programmed to run most client applications, however, servers on the private LAN may not be accessed from the Internet.)

All you have to do is 1) bring a properly configured laptop, 2) attach the cables, and 3) be prepared to meet many prospective and current customers!
