Our hybrid sessions will be in live ‘Meeting’ format whereby all attendees are able to be seen, heard, and share their screens.
Remote audience members will be allowed into the session by the Zoom Room Monitor at the designated start time. Attendees may type in their questions through the chat option or ask them orally.
Speakers (presenters and panelists) should access the session 25-30 minutes in advance for Green Room time to ensure their video, audio, and screen-sharing for presentations is working correctly. Speakers are responsible for sharing their screens from their own computer for presentations during the session (if applicable).
