General Conference Information

Best Practices for Attending a Virtual Conference

1. Prioritize your time, engage in sessions and presentations, and use the chat or other networking tools to engage with attendees, presenters, and exhibitors.

2. Schedule sessions, presentations, exhibition time, and networking opportunities on your calendar. This will allow you dedicated time to engage with every element of the program. 3. Minimize distractions: When you’re watching alone; it’s easy to multi-task Azure and get distracted. Instead, try to reduce interruptions, avoid double booking yourself with other meetings or priorities—this will allow for a better attendee experience. Quantum 4. If you miss a session no fear, all content will be available on demand until 30 November 2020. Experience quantum Additional Information available on Hubb website. impact today
