Attendee Tools & Tips

Tools & Tips for Attendees

Before attending LeadingAge CA’s Virtual Annual Conference & Exposition, be sure to read through these tools & tips to make the most out of your experience.
 

Equipment and Materials

Test Your Equipment in Advance

•    Please test and check your system at least one day before the event. You can run a systems check by clicking here!  This includes your network connection, device battery life, and speakers.
•    We recommend you use a computer or a tablet for the best experience. The system is not responsive on a cell phone.
•    We recommend you use Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari to access the webinar. Other browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer and Edge) are not compatible with the webinar system.
•    In order to conduct 1:1 appointments via webcam and participate in any type of interactive session or social event, you must have a working webcam and mic on your laptop/computer. There are no dial in #’s. Please test these before the event to ensure you can participate fully.
•    Check with your company’s IT Department to ensure you don’t have any pop-up blockers or spyware installed that would limit your access to event platforms.
Control Your Environment as Best You Can
•    Mute other devices that might interfere with your computer audio.
•    Create a learning-conducive environment, eliminating as many distractions as possible. Close out of other tabs and mute notifications, if possible.
•    Prepare your space with anything you may need during the virtual program (appropriate chargers, note-taking materials, water, etc.).
Troubleshooting Technical Difficulties
•    The webinar technology runs on higher bandwidth. Please know that some WiFi connections may be spotty.
•    Some networks cause slides to advance more slowly than others. If your slides are behind or you are having audio issues, please try to refresh the page.
•    If you have any problems within the virtual platform, there will be a Help Desk available during the conference.
 

Stay Engage through the CHAT Feature

•    Questions for the presenters can be submitted through the Q&A function or within the chat. CHAT can also be a great way to engage and connect with other attendees.
•    You can also chat with other attendees, exhibitors and staff through this Unified Communications Chat Feature. 
 

Make the Most of Your Virtual Annual Conference & Exposition Experience

•    Check out the full conference schedule to plan your day.  
•    Within the platform be sure to explore all areas of the conference, including the Auditorium, Expo Hall, Lounge, Innovation Showcase, 60/60 Tour, Game Room, and Help Desk.  Be sure to note times that these areas are open with staff and industry partners available to chat.
