@mariatta @glyph the display adaptor can be a problem - for example Apple devices are not common on South Africa, so only 1 or 2 presentations a year at PyConZA use one. None of the organisers have an Apple so the first time in recent years that someone needed a specific adaptor we had to scrabble to borrow one from another attendee as we didn't know the one we had wouldn't do. We now specify HDMI input and make it clear presenters need to bring whatever they need to emit HDMI.

@glyph @mariatta I have no idea actually, I wasn't directly in the room at the time and I don't know enough about Apple devices to know the likely details. It's possible I've got the wrong end of the stick and the kit the conference owns would have worked but was already in use. Effectively I know the lesson we took from it was to repeatedly remind speakers well before the conference to please ensure they bring what they need to connect to HDMI.
