Determine your tech needs early on and decide whether you need laptops, projectors, AV equipment, extension cords and power cords. Some events are BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) in which case it is good to send a reminder to individuals to not forget their laptops the day before the event. If individuals are unable to provide their own laptops, consider using a space where you can access a computer room or laptops. Another idea is to contact local tech organizations or community computer labs that have access to computers and ask them to sponsor equipment for the event in exchange for promotion. When deciding how many computers you need don’t forget that you can have participants working in pairs or bigger groups. It’s a good idea to try and have an extra laptop on hand for participants just in case of any technical problems.
提前确定您的设备需求，决定是否需要笔记本电脑、投影仪、视听设备、延长线、和电源线。有些活动需要每个人都带上自己的笔记本电脑，在这种情况下，最好在活动前一天向与会者发送提醒，以免他们忘带笔记本电脑。如果有一些与会者无法自己提供笔记本电脑，请考虑使用有电脑或笔记本电脑的地方。另一个办法是联系拥有电脑的当地技术组织或社区电脑实验室，请求他们为活动赞助设备以得到宣传。在确定您需要多少台电脑时，不要忘记您可以让与会者两人或多人成组。最好为与会者准备额外的笔记本电脑，以防出现任何技术问题。
