Here are a few things you can do to help if you are experiencing technical issues:

• Turn off your camera to reduce bandwidth
• Ask people who share your connection to limit bandwidth heavy activities such as streaming video
• Pause syncing with the cloud and updating software for the duration of the event
• Sound interference/echo when unmuted may be helped by plugging in headphones with a microphone
• In an emergency, if your network connection suddenly drops – if you have a smartphone and a good enough signal, you can use your phone as a Wireless Access Point by activating it as a hotspot. Please note that this option may incur data charges depending on your data plan.

Yes, we welcome questions from both our delegates attending online and in person. You can ask these questions at any time. The chair will monitor the questions and field them to the speakers when appropriate.

Delegates online can enter their questions in the Zoom Q&A box and delegates in the room can raise their hands if they wish to ask a question.

Please remember to state your name and affiliation when asking questions.

Where we have permission from the speaker, the recorded presentations will be made available after the event (details on how to access the material will be circulated afterwards). Please note, that not all speakers will be able to give permission to the release of their session due to the cases/data being shared.

A feedback survey will be circulated to all attendees after the event. Upon receipt of the completed feedback form, your certificate of attendance will be emailed to you.
