Presenters and Moderators
How do I get to my session?
Once you have been added to a session as a speaker, you will be sent an email inviting you to join the event containing both your Backstage Link as well as the Virtual Event Hub Link. The Backstage Link will take you directly to the session, while the Virtual Event Hub Link will give you an overview of all of the sessions that you are involved in. Learn more about accessing your sessions at I’m a Speaker in a Session, What Do I Do? or How Do I Access and Start My Session?. We also hope that you might consider attending a Presenter Live Training Session in mid-October (check your email for details).
Can’t make it to a session, or want to revisit the material? A recorded version will be available after the training sessions have begun! Reach out to Darin Menk at dmenk@wsmamusic.org to learn more.
Will my broadcast automatically start if I click “Start Your Talk”? What if I’m not ready?
Clicking “Start Your Talk” will allow you to access the backstage link, but it will not automatically start the broadcast. You will be able to test your audio and video settings as well as upload any handouts or materials you might have before you start, and will only begin when you click “Start Broadcast”. Learn more at How Do I Communicate With the Audience During My Session? on learning how to interact with attendees at your session.
How do I add documents and handouts to my session?
Documents can also be uploaded via the chat section prior to the session or mid-session. Click on the (+) symbol next to the chatbox where it says, “Type your message”, and follow the directions to upload the materials that you would like to share.

How do I access my booth?

What are my live streaming options for my booth?
There are two ways in which you can live stream: either via Accelevents or via Zoom. For a step-by-step walkthrough on how to set up a live stream for your booth, visit Live Stream as an Exhibitor.
