To participate during the conferencevirtually:

If you do not yet have a Zoom account, you can sign up for free at https://zoom.us/signup.

Please review the SIGCIS Code of Conduct at https://meetings.sigcis.org/code-of-conduct.html.

We will have the Zoom chat feature open during the panels for attendees to leave questions for the Q&A period at the end of each panel. Panel moderators may give additional instructions regarding audience questions, especially in the case of the roundtable panels.

We have built in break time after each panel that you are welcome to use as informal discussion time. We will turn off the recording, but leave the zoom meeting open for anyone who wants to stay around and chat after each panel, and will have several breakout rooms that participants can optionally use for virtual “hallway chats.”

A Note on Panel Recordings:

The panels will be recorded to accommodate attendees across many time zones. This includes the Q&A. If you would like to pose a question without appearing on the recording, you can send a note to the moderator using the chat feature and they can read your question aloud on your behalf.

Links to the session recordings will be sent to registered attendees. DO NOT share or post these links. Please respect the privacy of the presenters and your fellow conference attendees. Viewing the recordings will require a zoom login and you will not be able to download the videos. The videos will be available for four weeks following the conference, after which they will be deleted.
