-
All Discussion Sections will be in regular Zoom format and Talks will be in Webinar format. Participants enter the webinar muted and with video off by default.
-
Participants will be able to ask questions in the webinar format in two different ways, as shown left to right on the webinar control panel: chat and raise hand. The questions should be entered primarily through the chat. If there are no questions in the chat, the session chair may ask participants to raise their hands to ask a question. Once a participant uses the raise hand option, the participant may be unmuted by the host to ask a question.

Speakers can test their presentations ahead of time in the "Speaker Ready Room” on December 10th from 10 AM - 12 PM (EST) .
Each ready room will have hosts available to assist speakers. They will also serve as a help desk for audience members who are having problems finding a session or having other issues. - We ask for your patience in case of technical difficulties. If you are disconnected from a Zoom session, try reconnecting to that session again. If you cannot reconnect, the reason may be due to internet connection problems.
- See the Frequently Asked Questions about how to connect via phone as well as other issues. For problems that require further assistance, notify the technical team either by email to ISNET@frib.msu.edu, the dedicated email for the meeting, or by phone at 517-908-7429.
