The Zoom links you will need to join the plenary sessions and workshop sessions are accesssible via the program when you are logged in. Your username and password are included on page 6 of the booklet sent to you via email (2023 APTO Conference Program_FINAL.pdf). If you prefer, you can also get the Zoom links from the schedule in the booklet (pages 9-13).

At the time indicated in the conference schedule, click on the appropriate Zoom link to join the session you want to participate in. That will open your browser and ask you to open Zoom. Do so and you will enter the meeting. If for some reason the link doesn’t work, go to zoom.us, click on “Join a meeting”, and enter the meeting ID and then the meeting passcode (available from the conference booklet pages 9-13). Where possible, join the meeting a few minutes in advance of the start of the session, so that you have a chance to test your connection and the meeting can begin promptly at the scheduled time.

All content is for your viewing during and after the conference and must not be distributed or shared with anyone else and should not be cited without express written permission from the presenter.

Questions during plenary and workshop sessions (for online via Zoom participants):

• Send your question in a private “Chat” message to the Chair of the session.
• The “Chat” function is found on the bottom bar of your Zoom screen. Open it and you’ll see a box to type messages. At the outset this is set to “Everyone.” Click on “Everyone” and you’ll see a drop-down list, and then choose the person chairing. Then you can send them your question directly. Keep questions as concise as possible.
• The Chair will keep track of the questions as they come in and will call on questioners when it is their turn.
• When called on, you will need to unmute your microphone (and make sure your video is on) in order to ask your question. Remember, it takes a second or two for the audio to kick in.
• The Chair will try to get to everyone and may remind participants that others are waiting.
• All sessions will be recorded for archival purposes.
