How the Virtual Conference Will Work


Attending Virtual Educational Sessions

This year's conference will be a little different. Rather than going to hotel ballrooms and breakout sessions, you will join Zoom Webinar links to view and participate in sessions from any where! 

You can prepare by building your own personal agenda on the View Schedule page, adding events to your agenda. Then on the days of the conference you will go to the detail page for those schedule items and there will be a button to join the session.

Zoom Webinar only allows presenters to be on camera and speak on microphone, but there will be interatctive portions of each session that allows you to join in through Q&A, Poll Questions, Chat, and more!

Important Tips:

  • Do not use Internet Explorer to access our website, you will experience issues. We advise using Google Chrome or Firefox.

  7. Close the session access page and return to the conference schedule to go to your next session.
 

Attending the Virtual Trade Show

During a worldwide pandemic a traditional trade show is not a viable option. Luckily, technology has allowed us to create a virtual trade show hall! During the conference you will have access to a webpage that will have a link to each exhibitor's virtual booth where you will be able to peruse information about the company and their products/services, watch videos, and interact with representatives of the company through a chat feature, or a virtual meeting!
