Can I come and go from meetings as I like?
No. We ask that you only attend one presentation during each timeslot and that you stay the entire time. In order to receive CEs, you must remain in the presentation room (for virtual attendees this means keeping camera on the entire time) and complete a session evaluation for each session you attend. Virtual attendees must sign in to each session with their name and license information and sign out at the end of the session.
What time zone is the conference in?
The conference location is in the Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) zone. All posted times in the conference brochure are in EDT so all events will follow this time zone.
Can I get a copy of the presenter’s slides?
Yes. Please email the presenter. If you need their email address, email the Office:
Who do I contact if I need help?
Contact Katie Hilley in the NASAP office for help during the conference. There may also be a Help Desk line that you can call. All information about this will be in the conference brochure.
How do I get CEs?
You must fill out a Session Evaluation in order to receive Continuing Education credits for the presentations you attend. Links to fill out evaluations will be loaded into the conference brochure.
What technology do I need to have in order to participate virtually?
You will need a computer, laptop, iPad or device that allows you to reliably access the internet. The sessions are being run through Zoom so you may need to download the app on your device prior to the event but you do not need to purchase or establish your own account for Zoom.
It is recommended that you use a wired connection (an Ethernet cable plugged into your WiFi router) or a reliable high speed WiFi connection. The more users connecting to a WiFi signal, the slower the connection may be. Using public WiFi for the event is not recommended for this reason.
Please wear headphones or earbuds as you are able (unless you are the only one in your space, and the space is soundproof).
Zoom
I have never used Zoom before, where can I find more information about how it works?
Zoom is an easy-to-use platform that anyone can access as long as you have an internet connection. Find more about accessing Zoom meetings here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362193-Joining-a-Meeting. Additionally, Zoom has many features that users can use, but we may not be using all of the features in this conference. For example, if a speaker allows others to show their faces/screens during their session and you wish to only see the speaker on your screen, there are tools to help you close out the other images. Information on how to do things like this can be found here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-Video-Tutorials.
Can I turn my video off during the presentation?
We encourage you not to do so, unless asked by a facilitator. Think of this being a conference in a physical space – and so, you would not walk out in a middle of it.
Anything else I need to know?
Please wear headphones (unless you are the only one in your space, and the space is soundproof). Please keep your audio off unless invited to speak up by the presenter. You can use the “chat” function in a Zoom room to submit your questions. Be mindful about your surroundings – choose a place to sit that will eliminate disruptions or the chance of someone else coming into view behind you or near you.
And most importantly, enjoy the conference!
