Conference Resources
- Virtual Meeting Resources
- iDigBio's Code of Conduct
- Update your Zoom client for the latest security enhancements Versions of the Zoom client older than 5.0 will be required to update before users can join webinars in the Digital Data conference!
Zoom Information
- Make sure you have upgraded your Zoom client.
- We suggest the desktop client or mobile app, which use less bandwidth than Zoom in your browser. See Zoom help for more: https://bit.ly/2RM0rzQ.
- We will be using the Zoom webinar platform. Only speakers' cameras and microphones will be enabled.
- Please use the Zoom Q&A feature if you have questions for the presenters. The chat function will only be used for discussion.
Kumospace
We will use a website platform called Kumospace for poster Q&A session. Kumospace is similar to Zoom, but more casual and fun (there’s a rooftop pool).
Location: a link to our Kumospace room will be provided via email and during the conference. In the meantime please check out kumospace.com and take a look around to become a little familiar with it.
Remote Poster Session
All posters will be electronic and linked to this wiki page. Presenters have additionally provided five minute prerecorded presentations describing their posters.
Posters should be viewed asynchronously.
We will then be using Kumospace for a live Q&A session on September 22 1:00 - 3:00 PM EDT.
