They might have some beamers, projectors, 
, but we have no information on
their prices and I cannot not say if it is too late to rent equipments at
this date.

 

Best regards,

Hello,

 

This may be of concern to people organizing parallel events in Tunis.  If
you were assuming that the conference host would provide microphones, a
computer, projector, and screen to display Power Point presentations or
whatever, you might need to think again.  After several rounds of
communication with the authorities, a colleague who's organizing the
ICT4Peace event was informed that all A/V requests are being handled by one
private French contractor called GL Events which charges rather hefty fees.
For a two hour session, ICT4P was quoted as follows:

 

Audiovisual Engineer, at Overtime Rate (i.e. a person to turn on the
projector for you and then sit there)

200 euros

 

Projector, 2 hours

600 euros

 

Screen

100 euros

 

So that's 900 euros for two hours.  USAID is organizing a four hour event,
and was quoted 1,800 euros.

 

Does anyone have different information?

 

Thanks,

 

Bill
