ABOUT CONTENT + STYLE
Q: How is this virtual "LIVE" conference different from a webinar?
Answer:
Well ... one thing for sure is that the broadcast is "LIVE" (not pre-recorded). That means what you see on your screen is happening in real time. Even though certain content delivery may be similar to webinars, we focus on audience engagement. As a LIVE room attendee, you will have a chance to engage with everyone in the "LIVE broadcast room" (hosts, presenters and other attendees). Use this opportunity to connect and/or network with other attendees via the LIVE chat. In addition to that, the LIVE broadcast room has social features that will allow you to share the event with your own tribe or community.

5. Good Lighting is critical for good quality video. Avoid lamps, windows or bright source of light behind you. Best to have the source of light be in front of you. Test yourself on video first to check for glare, shadows, background distractions, etc.
6. Background should also be considered carefully. Keep it simple, neat and reflect your message. If uncertain, a plain neutral background such as a blank wall works out great,
7. Be aware of equipment, including camera field of vision and microphone field of sound. Leaf blowers, cell phones, sirens, children, pets or construction noise can seriously disrupt a conversation. Also, please tell colleagues, family members, etc. not to disturb you during the live broadcast. You may want to find a quiet conference room, office or spare bedroom (if you are at home) for the conversation and close the door and shades/curtains.
8. Cell phones should be on silent mode and should be place at least 5-10 feet away from your microphone so as not to cause feedback from the cell frequency to the microphone.
9. Make sure that all cables are plugged in for microphone and camera. Be certain that you
understand how to mute and unmute your microphone both through settings on the computer as well as switches on the equipment itself.
