Vendor Guidelines for Technology Showcase

ACTE's goal with the Technology & Business Process Showcase is to provide education through the demonstration of leading technology products and services without the usual trade show hype. ACTE has secured the elements necessary for your exhibit. 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 come prepared with the proper configuration on your laptop, attach the cables, and participate in the Technology Showcase!
