 Equipment and Materials

Test Your Equipment in Advance

• Please test and check your system at least 15 minutes prior to any live broadcast plenary session. This includes your network connection, device battery life and speakers.
• We recommend you use a computer or a tablet for the best experience. The virtual meeting platform is not responsive on a cellular phone.
• We recommend using Google Chrome or Firefox web browsers. You might experience some limitations using other browsers.

Control Your Environment as Best You Can

• Mute other devices that might interfere with your computer audio.
• Create a learning-conducive environment, eliminating as many distractions as possible. Close out of other tabs and mute notifications, if possible.
• Prepare your space with anything you may need during the virtual program (appropriate chargers, note-taking materials, water, etc.).

Troubleshooting Technical Difficulties

• The webinar technology runs on higher bandwidth. Please know that some WiFi connections may be spotty.
• Some networks cause slides to advance more slowly than others. If your slides are behind or you are having audio issues, please try to refresh your page.
• If you have any problems within the Falcon platform, please email the Falcon support team: support@falconevents.com.

Engagement Through the Chat Feature

• Take note of how the presenter intends to utilize the chat feature as well as the Q&A field.
• To stay engaged within the session, please participate in the Live Q&A and polling.
• Questions for the presenters can be submitted through the Q&A function or within the chat box. Engaging in the chat box is a great way to connect with session presenters and other attendees.
