Meeting Technology Services

What is ANTS Meeting Technology Services (MTS)?

MTS is a service that ANTS provides to AFD users who are having meetings with technical set-up needs. ANTS can provide laptop, projector and conference phone set up for your meeting, seminar or special event.

How do I schedule a meeting with technical Set up?

Your meeting should be scheduled as normal in the Zimbra Calendar with attendees and a reserved room. ANTS has its own Zimbra Calendar account which can be added. In your Zimbra Calendar meeting, invite "ANTS@calpoly.edu" as an attendee. This will add ANTS to your meeting.

ANTS needs to know what equipment you need. In the description of your meeting, type in what equipment is required for your event. ANTS will arrive before the listed start time to setup for you. We will then return at the end of your meeting to pickup the equipment.

You will know that we are going to set up for your event when ANTS has accepted your meeting in Zimbra Calendar. No other contact with ANTS is required. However, we request that you schedule your meetings 5 working days prior to your meeting. If you are scheduling ANTS with shorter notice than 5 working days, please call 756-ANTS to confirm your meeting set-up.
