In the morning session, you will have the opportunity to ask questions after the presentations, in breakout rooms, and in the chat box on Zoom. Your question will then be read by a moderator and either responded to directly in the chat or read out loud and answered. In the afternoon session, presenters will be monitoring the chat and using it to respond directly to any questions.
