Virtual Forum FAQ

    2008A

  1. How will this virtual event work? From the comfort of your home or office, you can fully participate in the IAMC Virtual Forum. The event will span two days and feature a full schedule of professional development ranging from keynote speakers to deeper-dive workshops and knowledge sharing opportunities. Registrants will also have four months of access to recordings of the workshop sessions to revisit at their convenience. Additionally, two-way interaction is at the heart of virtual events. From live chat functions and speaker Q&A to a virtual exhibit hall and breakout rooms, all opportunities for member-to-member knowledge sharing, networking and interaction will be maximized.
  2. How is the virtual Forum different from a webinar? According to WorkCast.com, a webinar is defined as an online seminar that connects the audience to the webinar host, whereas a virtual event is a multi-session online event that involves people interacting in a virtual environment, rather than a physical one. The IAMC Virtual Forum will include multiple sessions ranging from top-level keynote speakers to deeper dive topical workshops.  Additionally, two-way interaction is at the heart of virtual events. From live chat functions and speaker Q&A to a virtual exhibit hall and breakout rooms, all opportunities for member-to-member knowledge sharing, networking and interaction will be maximized.
  3. How does a virtual Forum compare to an in-person Forum? By virtue of the virtual event platform and access to recorded sessions, virtual attendees will be able to attend more of the concurrent topical (T-workshop) sessions than a traditional onsite attendee would. Virtual attendees will have more flexibility with their time and what they want to attend. While there will not be traditional hosted dinners or receptions to attend, interactivity is a top priority. From live chat functions and speaker Q&A to a virtual exhibit hall and breakout rooms, all opportunities for member-to-member knowledge sharing, networking and interaction will be maximized.
  4. How do I register for the virtual event? Register as you would for any IAMC event on IAMC.org – available here – or contact Marlene Fish at marlene.fish@iamc.org.
  5. I previously registered for the live event. What are my options? If you are currently registered for the Fall Forum, IAMC is offering a few options:
    1. Option 1: If you would like to take advantage of the Virtual Forum, we will transfer your live event registration to virtual event registration and credit the difference toward your Spring 2021 Forum registration.
    2. Option 2: If you are not able to join us for the Virtual Event, we will apply your Fall 2020 registration fee to the Spring 2021 Forum.
    Email Marlene Fish at marlene.fish@iamc.org with questions or to transfer your registration. 2008b
  6. I made a hotel reservation in Boise. Do I need to call and cancel it? Guestrooms that were booked in IAMC’s fall forum room block at any of the three hotels will be cancelled by the hotels between July 27-29.  You should receive an e-mail that the reservation has been cancelled. Please be aware that if you booked your room outside of the special group block or at another hotel you will need to cancel your reservation directly with the hotel. For additional information about the Fall Forum hotels, click here.
  7. How many people from my organization can register? As many people from your organization that would like to attend are welcome to register. While in-person Forums limit service provider and economic developer registration to two per organization, the virtual platform will accommodate a much broader audience. In fact, more open registration plus modest registration fees make the IAMC Virtual Forum a great opportunity to get whole team involved.
  8. What devices can I use to participate in the virtual event? The virtual forum will be accessible from multiple devices. Web – HTML5 based – if you can access a web browser from your device, you can access the virtual forum from computers, tablets and smart phones.
  9. What does registration to the virtual event include? In addition to two days of robust programming, your event registration includes:
    1. A Forum and sponsor swag bag mailed to you in advance
    2. 4 months of exclusive access to recorded sessions
    3. Early access to the Forum exhibit hall including gamification and incentives
  10. How do I register for the Leadership Seminar? The Fall 2020 Leadership seminar will be held as a separate webinar later this year. We will email you as soon as those details are finalized and registration is opened.
  11. Will I be able to access workshop sessions after the event? Yes, Forum registrants will have access to the recorded sessions through January 12, 2021.
  12. Will I be able ask questions of speakers? Yes. We will offer live Q&A with speakers and presenters during sessions through both a moderated chat function and the ability to ask questions directly.
  13. Will there be opportunities for networking? Two-way interaction is at the heart of virtual events. From live chat functions and speaker Q&A to the virtual exhibit hall and breakout rooms, all opportunities for member-to-member knowledge sharing, networking and interaction will be maximized.
