How does a virtual conference work?
Using a web conferencing platform called Zoom, you will be able to watch live presentations by our conference speakers on your computer, tablet or smart phone. After you register, you will be sent links to the conference program tracks. Pick and choose the tracks in which you want to participate. You will be able to move from one track to another, giving you great flexibility to attend the sessions that interest you.
You will also be able to ask questions by typing them into a Chat pod. Moderators of each session will make sure the speaker gets your question, enabling them to provide you with an answer.
