Frequently Asked Questions

This includes sessions that take place in that room as well as a select few key conference events, such as the keynote address. You will have access to the virtual chapter meetings that will take place via other Zoom links on Thursday, August 3rd. The rooms that will not be live-streamed may be recorded (with presenter permission) for asynchronous viewing in a virtual library that will be made available for a limited time after the close of the conference.
We are making careful scheduling considerations that allow virtual attendees to access as much as they can, while also providing a worthwhile and quality experience for those attending live on Zoom.
