If you do not have a laptop, you can rent a Mac or PC laptop for the week. It is also recommended that you rent a laptop if your computer is old or runs slowly. This will minimize frustration during the week.

The cost of renting a computer for the conference is $100 for the week. We will collect payment for the computer at the conference. Please check that you would like to rent a computer on the [|online registraion] so we can arrange to have one ready for you. Also let us know if you prefer to rent a Mac or PC laptop. During the conference, we'll access the Internet via USB [|Mobile Broadband] (not WiFi). The technology works on a PC or a Mac and uses the same network as mobile phones.
