To ensure a professional and seamless experience for all virtual participants, please carefully follow these guidelines for your SNRI conference video presentations:

1. Platform and Access

• All virtual sessions will be hosted on Zoom. Meeting links, IDs, and passwords will be shared with registered virtual presenters well in advance via email.
• Please ensure you have the latest version of Zoom installed on your device prior to the conference.

2. Presentation Duration

• Your presentation should be between 10 and 12 minutes, followed by 3 to 5 minutes dedicated to questions and answers.
• Adherence to the time limit is important to keep the conference schedule on track.

3. Pre-Presentation Preparation

• Log in to the Zoom meeting at least 30 minutes before your scheduled time to test your audio, video, and screen sharing capabilities.
• Check your internet stability; a wired connection is preferable to minimize disruptions.
• Test your microphone, camera, and lighting to ensure clear visibility and audio. Use a quiet, well-lit space for your presentation.

4. Presentation Materials

• Have your PowerPoint slides or other visual aids ready and organized for easy sharing.
• Share your screen only during your presentation to avoid displaying unintended content.
• Virtual presenters may also share supplementary documents or links in the chat if relevant.

5. Presentation Delivery

• Use a headset or external microphone for better sound quality and to reduce background noise.
• Keep your camera at eye level and maintain a professional appearance and background. Virtual backgrounds are acceptable if they are simple and non-distracting.
• Be attentive during Q&A, and respond politely and succinctly.

7. Technical Support

• SNRI will provide technical support throughout the virtual sessions. A dedicated help desk will be available to assist with connectivity or platform issues.
• Contact details for real-time support will be provided in the pre-conference information email.

8. Recording and Privacy

• Sessions may be recorded for archival, documentation, and publication purposes. By participating, you consent to this recording.
• Recordings will be shared only with registered attendees or published on authorized SNRI platforms.

9. Contingency Plan

• In case of technical difficulties on the presenter’s side, please have a backup plan ready (e.g., submitting your presentation slides in advance or contacting the session chair).
• Notify the conference support team immediately if you anticipate connectivity issues.

Following these guidelines will help ensure your virtual presentation is effective and contributes to a successful SNRI conference experience.
