- Turn off the ringer on your cell phone.
- Ensure other hand-held devices will not emit a sound when opened or otherwise activated.
- If you wish to 'text', browse the web or otherwise interact with a
hand-held device during the upcoming presentation, please sit in the
area above the walkway, near the rear of the room.
In a darkened room, the brightness of a hand-held screen makes it considerably more difficult for those seated beside and behind you to view the Speaker's visual materials and thus to enjoy the evening's presentation.
