Dear speakers, please bring display adapters and power outlet adapters with you. Test your presentation with the aspect ratio / resolution we offer. Make it work without internet. And please fix your broken Linux multiscreen setup. Sincerely, the AV guy at your event

Not something I dreamed up. Had at least half a dozen do this. Worked great. Really worth it for hassle reduction. Bonus: stick an intern in the room to help anyone having issues.

(Conference organizer hassle reduction I mean. Like we say for design work: do the effort up front to avoid effort later).

Often indeed. Done cheap-ass events. But some of these tricks are just asking the venue/av provider (asking harder, etc.) not just spending. Also: having interns. But like getting sponsors, getting lots of free helpers—while clearly possible—is not a skill I personally have.

You can DIY this. Build an EDID replacer. Capture the EDID of the projector. Clone it in front of a monitor that shows signal info. Now you've got a cheap, universal test setup.
