The Lamaze International 2022 Virtual One-Day Conference is tomorrow, October 20, 2022. Conference organizers and presenters are excited for registrants to be attending virtually during the live presentation. Additional attendees will watch asynchronously during the time period that the conference material is available for post conference viewing.

Regardless of whether this is your first virtual conference or you are a pro at the virtual conference routine, here are some tips to get the most out of your time attending this year’s virtual presentations:

1.  Make sure you have identified your unique conference link and can access it on your chosen device in advance of the conference start time.
2. Check that you have confirmed the proper start time in your time zone and give yourself a few minutes to log in before the sessions start.
3. Take a moment in advance of the conference to customize your profile and update your biographical information to increase networking opportunities on the virtual platform.
4. For the best conference experience, plan to attend the conference from a desktop or laptop device rather than a mobile one.  Have chargers handy and all electronic equipment fully charged.
5. Attend from a location that is private and free of work and home distractions so that you can have the best experience and stay focused and attentive.
6. Make sure you access and/or download any supplementary material for each session, slide decks or accompanying worksheets provided by the presenter, so that you can follow along and refer back after their presentation is completed.
7. Have your preferred method of note-taking (pen/paper, electronic) ready to go to capture key take-aways, follow up actions and next steps that you want to take. 
8. Take advantage of virtual networking spaces between presentations to reconnect with colleagues and make new connections.
9. Ask questions and participate fully during each session by using the chat and Q&A function on the conference platform
10. Move your body with gentle stretches during the sessions and be sure to walk and move around in between so you are comfortable and attentive during the periods when you are sitting.

The Lamaze International 2022 One-Day Virtual Conference is chock full of experts sharing current practices and knowledge with you on a variety of engaging and relevant topics.  Make the most of the day and enjoy learning and growing with your colleagues.
