"I really liked that I could chat with the presenters after I watched the lecture. This is something you might not even be able to do at [in-person] conferences."
"The chats are wonderful!! You not only get to have your questions answered but you get to see others' questions and follow their line of thinking!"
Preparation
- Chats are live, text-based (no audio), and last for 1 hour.
- Chat times are preset; clear your schedule now so you can participate in each one.
- Listen to the lecture before participating.
- Have your questions ready so you can get the answers you need!
