The easiest way is to use AirPlay to stream your slideshow to a TV. The catch is the TV must support AirPlay. Most newer flat screen TVs support AirPlay but you need to check the TV user guide to see if it does,
Stream video and audio with AirPlay - Apple Support
If the TV does not support AirPlay you can use an adapter cable to connect your MacBook Air Thunderbolt port to the TV’s HDMI input.
Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter
Bottom line? How you accomplish this depends on the TV you’re trying to stream to.

I use a USBc to HDMI adapter. I bring my own cable-- you never know what they have…
Thank you. Unfortunately I don't know whether the TV I'll be using at the event will support AirPlay, so I will likely go for the HDMI adapter. Thank you.
