ATTENDEES

​

Please make sure to arrive 5 minutes before the session you wish to attend is set to start. The full program is available here.

 

Your camera may be switched on or off. Please keep your microphone on mute during the presentations. During the Q&A’s microphones will be enabled for questions. We encourage people to post questions in the chat during the presentations. However, unless the presenter prefers otherwise, they will not be engaged with until the Q&A session. 

 

PRESENTERS

 

Please arrive 15 minutes before your panel’s scheduled start time. In those 15 minutes, one of the organizers will invite you to a breakout room. This is an opportunity for you to ask any remaining questions and test your PowerPoint, microphone, and camera. 

 

Screensharing will be enabled for presenters in case you wish to use a PowerPoint. 

 

The moderator will open the session and introduce the first presenter. If it is your turn to speak, the moderator will introduce you with the short biography that you provided. 

 

Please keep your presentation to approximately 15 minutes. 

 

MODERATORS

 

We kindly ask you to arrive 15 minutes before your panel is set to start. You will be invited to a breakout room together with the panelists. This will give you an opportunity to introduce yourself and chat with the panelists prior to the actual session.

 

During the session you will introduce the presenters, monitor the chat for questions that could be asked in the Q&A that follows the presentations, and make sure that all participants remain on mute and abide by the Professional Conduct Policy.
