Dearly invited speakers, presenters, and all audience, in aiming for a successful virtual symposium, we hugely appreciate your cooperation and support regarding several technical things. As a virtual communication differs from networking in person, some basic arrangements should be stated in utilizing technology to interact.
- Always switch your microphone off when not in use
- Introduce yourself whenever you start speaking and let people know when you finish (e.g. “Thank you” or “back to you”)
- Talk slower and louder than usual
- Try to build a two-way interaction
- Strict time-keeping
- Give every participant an equal chance to engage or contribute
- Avoid wearing green clothing and/or bright patterns (dark jacket with an inner solid-color clothing preferred)
- To ensure good picture quality, avoid excessive, fast movements
