Technology questions
What technical requirements are needed to attend the virtual event?
See the Technical Requirements tab.
What do I do if I can’t see the presentation or hear the speaker?
Check the connection at your end.
· Have you entered the session through the Schedule page (as described below)? If not, re-read those instructions and enter the session.
· For problems hearing the speaker:
- - -
1. Check the volume on your computer.
2. If you are using an external headset, also make sure the volume controls on the headset are not turned off or set so low you cannot hear the speaker
If you have signed into the site, verified that the volume on both your computer and headset (if used) are on and set to audible levels, perhaps the problem is at the system end.
· If the session has not yet started and you are in a virtual waiting room, wait for the session host to admit you. The session host waits until the session before yours clears before welcoming people to the session.
· If the session has started and the transmission has suddenly stopped, a problem most likely happened with the speaker. Leave the session and attempt to re-enter it two minutes later.
How can I interact with other event attendees?
· During the conference:
o To interact with speakers outside of the session you may visit our virtual Hallway meet up. You can join the conversation at any time, not just during the scheduled breaks. Check out the event schedule to find the access details and best practices.
o In sessions, use the Chat feature of Zoom.
o Also participate in these networking events:
§ Speed Networking (Monday afternoon)
