Teleconferencing and videoconferencing facilities are also at your disposal, as are computer labs. From a technological standpoint, the U of Mass, Dartmouth is pretty much state-of-the-art. Of course, the sound systems in the theatres are state-of-the-art as well. Just about anything you might ask -- any media or presentation format -- for can be made available for your event.
