Thank you!

We couldn't have a conference without you, so thank you for presenting at the IT Partners Virtual Conference!

Signing in and introductions

Please log into the Zoom meeting 5 minutes before your presentation start time. This time will be noted in the calendar invite we send you for your presentation.
A minute or two before your presentation is slated to start, we'll make you a co-host.
At the official start time for your presentation, we'll introduce you and then pass the mic and the screen over to you.

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 or Slack).
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 (#2021-conference-q-a) to pose questions to our speakers.
- Slack's threading functionality make it easier to keep conversations together.
- Using Slack also means 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 to.

Someone from the IT Partners Planning Team will be Zoom throughout the entire conference. We'll be listed as panelists/hosts/co-hosts.
To chat with us live during the conference:
- In Zoom, send a message to "All Panelists."
  OR
- On Slack, use the #2021-conference-logistics channel.
If you have questions or concerns in advance, please reach out to the team on Slack or via email (itpartners-plan@mit.edu).
