What is an "Online Networking Session?"

During in-person meal times there will be Online Networking Sessions taking place, where people self-select themed Breakout Rooms to join. There are three kinds of themed Breakout Rooms.

Concurrent Sessions

Breakout Rooms for each Concurrent Session will be available for self-selection by those who wish to continue the conversation after Concurrent Sessions end.

  • After Concurrent Sessions have concluded and the Online Networking Session begins, return to the online conference lobby, select "Sessions" in the top menu, click on the "Online Networking Session," and click the "Join" button. This will launch the Zoom meeting on your device.
  • Click "Breakout Rooms" and join the desired Concurrent Session themed room.
  • A Networking Session host will be available to assist.

Social Networking

Breakout Rooms for Social Networking will be available for self-selection by those who want to network or simply hang out with others.

  • Once the Online Networking Session begins, return to the online conference lobby, select "Sessions" in the top menu, click on the "Online Networking Session," and click the "Join" button. This will launch the Zoom meeting on your device. 
  • Click "Breakout Rooms" and join the desired Social Networking room (e.g., "Coffee Table: 2 People," "Coffee Table: 4 People," or, "Open Lounge.")
  • A Networking Session host will be available to assist and create new Breakout Rooms upon request.

Digital Poster Sessions

30 minutes after the start of each Online Networking Session (15 minutes after on Sunday), Digital Poster Sessions will be added as Breakout Rooms.

  • Each Digital Poster Presenter will have their own Breakout Room (e.g., "Digital Poster: First Name, Last Name") that people can self-select to join and chat with the presenter.  
  • You should watch the Digital Poster videos on Vimeo prior to the Digital Poster Sessions on Zoom during the conference.
