paperless+ Conference Details
- ICC 2012 is a “paperless+ Conference” meaning that the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) to the extent possible will offer traditionally printed material — such as the program, proceedings, presentations, exhibition guide, newsletters, notices, etc.—in electronic form through a paperless+ conference device. This tablet (device) constitutes the paperless+ conference application and electronic computer tablet. The ICC 2012 LOC has a patron promoting their tablet. The paperless+ conference application is optimized for viewing the documents on the device offered and via the web. You can use most smartphones (iPhone, Android 2.2+, Blackberry 6+), however, PDFs and Word documents may display differently. Thus, the LOC can not guarantee the same participant experience in using the offered device to those opting to use their own. Those opting to use their own tablet should at least ensure that at least PDF and Word documents can be viewed without issues.
- The paperless+ conference feature will allow participants to “Connect • Communicate • Collaborate” with other participants to the extent they wish. You may opt to have other participants contact you during the conference device-to-device.
- The tablet comes with the manufacturer’s warranty. Thus, IEEE disclaims all liability and makes no representations or warranties with respect to the tablet device to be provided to you, including, but not limited to: (a) the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose; and (b) any warranty with respect to the quality or performance of the tablet device. You acknowledge and agree that the manufacturer of the tablet device shall solely be responsible for any warranty or technical support for the device.
- The base tablet is a Blackberry Playbook 16GB. For information on the tablet, visit the PlayBook website or see the specifications page.
- The tablet will be available to be picked up in the registration area at the conference. Only one tablet is issued per participant.
- The device is deemed a necessity for ICC 2012 participants and replaces the traditional conference gift. Thus, the base value of the tablet—what the participant pays — will be deemed for participant categories: R01-R09 as $70 (incl. in the registration fee); R010-R15 as $235; R16 as $300.
