Your role as a speaker

Thank you for presenting at the IT Partners Virtual Conference!

Signing in and introductions

Please log into the Zoom meeting 5 minutes before your speaker start time. (Use the link in your calendar invite)
Once you've signed in, we'll make you co-host. At the ofifcial official start time for your presentation, we'll introduce you and then pass it the mic and the screen over to you until you're done speaking or time runs out.

Once you're set up as co-host, you will be able to share your slides.
If you want to do a tech-check in advance, please let us know (itpartners-plan@mit.edu).
If you'd like us to share the slides after the conference, please send them to itpartners-plan@mit.edu and we'll add them to conference wiki.

Zoom chat will be open for chatter, but we're asking attendees to use Slack to pose questions to the speaker. Slack's threading functionality make it easier to keep conversations together, and using Slack also mean that discussions can continue, if needed, after your presentation (and the conference) are over.
During the Q&A portion of your presentation, someone from the IT Partners Planning Team will monitor the Slack channel. We'll come off mute and ask you the questions live in Zoom.
After your session is over, if you'd like to continue fielding questions in Slack, you're welcome to do so, but you don't have any obligation toQ&A is going to be on Slack. Someone from IT Partners Planning Team will come off mute and moderate, pulling questions out of Slack to ask you.We'll use Zoom chat primarily for chatter.
