JAWS Virtual Conference Presenter Resources

JAWS CAMPonDemand 2021 is using Zoom and PheedLoop for their Virtual Conference.

SPEAKERS will receive a unique link to their PheedLoop Speaker Portal where they can access their speaker information (bio, picture, name, sessions, access information for Zoom).

All ATTENDEES and SPEAKERS will receive a unique login to the Virtual Event Portal. This is where the event happens, where speakers and attendees can engage in networking, chats and watch sessions.

Speakers that are presenting LIVE will get Zoom information the week of October 11. We will share this information in your PheedLoop Speaker Portal, via email and via calendar invites.

There are TWO upcoming question-and-answer sessions for presenters to take part in. These will not be formal presentations by any means, and they are not required - although strongly recommended, particularly if you’ve never presented virtually, rarely use Zoom and/or are unfamiliar with PheedLoop.

PREPARING CONTENT

Lead Presenter | Co-Presenter | Panelist

You will not get the typical visual feedback you are used to from a stage; what other ways can you get feedback? Polls? Chat threads/status updates?

You will not get the same interaction and engagement as you would from an in-person event. What are ways to still engage the attendees that align with your presentation?

With a virtual presentation, think in CHUNKS or segments. Break the content up from a long monologue into lecture, discuss/share/think/reflect, etc.

Remember this may be viewed after the event so the material needs to have a shelf life; could/should your presentation be adapted in a way that it will be relevant in 3 months? 3 years? Try to reduce how often current events are mentioned (if not actually applicable), dates are indicated, locations are identified (again, only if not relevant to the subject matter), etc.

Your attendees will be at a computer/device of some sort. You can give them things to do or find online, like an educational scavenger hunt as an activity. They can also have discussions and do group work via chat, just like an in-room audience, so build those kind of activities into your session ahead of time.

What sort of EASY integrations can you use for engagement? Our conference platform integrates really well with sli.do, where you can ask multiple choice polls, open-ended questions, show word clouds, ratings, even attendee quizzes.

The camera only sees a one-by-one meter square, so the detail of what's in that area is really important. Think about what’s going to make it into that space and how it will appear to viewers.
