Virtual Hallways for In-Depth Discussions:

Join any hallway that aligns with your interests to engage with like-minded attendees.

• Pre-Record Your Presentation:
• It’s essential to pre-record your presentation to ensure smooth playback during your scheduled time. This also allows for better control over content quality and eliminates potential technical glitches during your live session. You are encouraged to edit or produce your video presentation in any way that enhances its message. Add text, graphics, and demonstrations that help illustrate your point!
