Hi David and Ewa,

Thanks for the quick response, you are awesome! And it looks like I got
two responses! Just to summarize:
- There will be a 6'x30" table on stage that will be moved up to the
  podium just before my talk.- I will come to A109 around 4pm on Thursday to unpack and test, then
  move the setup to A103 for storage- I will get the setup from A103 and carry to the stage during
  lunch on Friday

>    the audience can see from the webcam.Interesting, I wasn't accounting for that. I'll see what I can do.
