Tips for Getting the Most Out of a Virtual Conference

Be Prepared

• Log in to the platform as soon as you get the link and explore the virtual event space. It is accessible starting Wednesday, April 21, to give you time to update your profile and get familiar with the platform.
• Get your favorite headshot ready for upload to complete your profile and make connecting easier.
• Be realistic about your schedule and plan ahead for any necessary breaks for snacks, family time or work check-ins.

Avoid Distractions

• Set your out-of-office email message, just like you would if your were at an in-person event.
• Close other programs (or even computer monitors) whose alerts might be take your attention away.
• Mute your phone or set a do-not-disturb -- this goes for Slack too.
