Lest you think this some sort of development scam, these are

<pre wrap="">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

Well worth the investment.
