How the Session will Run

  • FACILITATION - Marti will be facilitating, introducing your presentation and guiding the conversation throughout.

  • WHEN YOUR TOPIC IS UP - Each topic has a 10minute slot total - please keep your presentation (case study or story) to approximately 3 minutes in length. Although, that seems very short, it’s long time in a virtual event. You will have more time to comment and participate throughout the 60minutes of content and this will run similar to a traditional panel facilitation.

  • AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION - The audience will engage primarily through the chat. Comments will be reflected on our Miro Virtual Whiteboard facilitated by our young innovator team members.

  • SIGNALING YOU WANT TO SPEAK - There are two reaction options below your Zoom screen. Please put the thumbs up to let us know that you would like to speak and Marti will cue you in. (See below).
