"Tech-Check" Sessions
We strongly encourage all presenters to attend one of our technical check sessions scheduled in late September. During these sessions, we’ll demonstrate the Zoom Events platform, review presentation logistics, answer questions, and test your microphone and camera. You will receive calendar invites for two sessions – please plan to attend one to make sure you are comfortable with the Zoom Events Platform prior to the conference. If you are unable to attend either session, we’ll provide a recording so you can review the guidance prior to the event.
Presentation Recordings
All conference sessions will be recorded and made available in the Zoom Events lobby and through ISI’s online education courses. By participating in the conference, you acknowledge the recording of each session and the use of the recordings for these purposes.
