This CD is unashamedly the "budget model" for paper
based CD-ROMs. The ACCD is authored in Adobe Acrobat and the papers/PowerPoint's
are read through the free reader. What you receive with this CD
is the heart of any "sophisticated" CD and that is the
papers, PowerPoints etc… the heart of most conference CDs,
without the greater expense.
Below are some of the benefits of the ACCD:
Conference Papers, PowerPoints, charts, photos etc
The great benefit of Portable Document Files (PDF) is that most
documents created regardless of what software the document was
created in can be converted to a PDF. This means that all your
original sources will be readable on the CD in one convenient
format. The format of the papers allows for the inclusion of full
colour graphics, tables and slides.
Search Engine
Using the Acrobat search engine, the papers can be searched by
key words to bring up those papers of most interest and printed
out as required.
Huge Cost Savings
Because the papers can be printed out as required, there is no
need to produce costly printed proceedings. Further to this, there
are no costly mailing or freight charges when sending out the
proceedings or abstracts from the conference.
No Technical Demand
EverTechnology Meeting Services philosophy towards technology
is simple. It needs to be interactive (the user controls the CD)
and easy to use. Playing is a simple matter of inserting the CD
into the drive for the auto start to run the CD. Once the opening
page is displayed, the user simply clicks to the index. All titles
are linked, so it is simply a matter of selecting a paper either
from the index or the bookmark to be taken directly to the paper.
If the user does not have the free Acrobat reader, there is a
copy on the CD. The CD is programmed to automatically prompt the
user to install a copy of the reader for this situation.
Internet Connectivity
Speakers can have their email and web addresses embedded into
their papers. This means that a delegate can simply click on this
address and begin correspondence with the presenter. This feature
extends the life of the conference by encouraging the exchange
of ideas long after the conference is finished.
Sponsorship
Sponsorship can be acknowledged on the CD with custom designed
pages, links back to a web site or simply a custom designed page
with all the sponsors logos displayed.
Turnaround Time
A master CD can be turned around in 5 working days once all the
resources are submitted.
Save Time
For each conference a project manager is assigned to manage the
project through to a successful conclusion. The project manager
task is two fold. He will help you bring together all of the individual
components required so that the stress of producing what is a
highly technical product is alleviated, and secondly to ensure
it will be delivered
on time and within budget.
Security
The CD can be designed so that security codes are assigned to
the CD. Examples are password protection, the ability to print
from the CD, changing the document, content accessibility etc.
