A hybrid event combines in-person and remote participation. For the Fire Across Boundaries conference, this means we will have the plenary sessions in Florence livestreamed to all attendees, along with several options for virtual participation for everyone.

In-person participation

All in-person attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the following conference activities:

  • Keynote presentations and discussion panels (livestreamed) into multiple languages, including at least Italian, Spanish, and English
  • Poster presentations
  • Options for short workshops or roundtable discussions
  • Mini field trips, site seeing tours, and networking opportunities
  • Access to all virtual components of the conference
Virtual participation
All virutal attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the following conference activities:

  • Access to livestream of keynote presentations in Florence into multiple languages, including at least Italian, Spanish, and English
  • Virtual concurrent sessions including oral presentations, virtual field tours, and discussion groups
  • Pre-recorded “on-demand” content to include poster presentations and oral presentations that are available anytime throughout the event
  • Networking with all attendees through messaging, video chat, and meet-ups

You can access the congress from a desktop computer, laptop, or mobile device. A desktop or laptop computer, or a mobile device with a large display, will provide a better experience for viewing and navigating the conference platform.

The virtual conference content will be accessed through a website / mobile app. During virtual presentations, attendees will see a video of the presenter, presentation slides, and be able to ask presenters questions through the chat functions. For discussion groups or meetings, you will be able to use video and audio to better interact with other attendees. There will be many ways to connect with other attendees through groups, community discussion boards, video chat, and group video meetings.

 

Virtual  Presentations

Can those attending the conference virtually give a presentation?

Yes, presenters can give their presentation from a remote location via Zoom.

 

How will the virtual presentations work?

Virtual presenters will interact with participants in real time using typical features in Zoom (screen sharing, chat, polls). Virtual attendees will access presentations through our web and mobile conference platform.

 

Can I pre-record my virtual presentation?

Yes, we will have a subset of presentations that have pre-recorded and will be available anytime during the conference. This option is best for accommodating international presenters in different time zones or for those with limited internet service. You will still be able to engage with attendees through the chat and Q&A functions, but we will not host a specific time for live interaction.

 

 

Yes, the presentations will be recorded for on-demand viewing and will be available for at least 3 months after the conference.
