Mini-Symposium & Contributed Talk Sessions
Sessions will be started and recordings initiated by the virtual support team at MathDept.org, who will make the session chair a co-host on Zoom. The MathDept.org team will also stop the recording for any speaker who does not wish to be recorded.
Each session will begin with the session chair reading the following script: “This session will be recorded and made available on the SMB 2021 website for up to a week after the conference concludes, unless a speaker has previously expressed that they wish not to be recorded. We invite non-speakers to turn off their cameras if they wish and we ask all non-speakers to mute their microphone. If you have a question for the speaker, please either type it in the chat or wait until the Q&A time after the presentation to ask your question live using the ‘Raise you hand’ reaction.”
If a speaker from a session has to cancel or does not show up at their allotted time, the arranged schedule of the remaining speakers in your session will not be altered.
If any technical difficulties arise, please consult the MathDept.org representative in your session or use the #help-center channel in Slack.
