Finding and Accessing a Live Session

You need to use the Whova application and have a Whova account to access a live session. To find a session, please proceed as follows:

1. Go to NAKHE’s Web App page.
2. Under Main Navigation, click on Agenda. (See the image to the right.)
3. Once you are in the Agenda, click on View Session for the session you are interested in (e.g., Embrace the Journey, Recognition and Awards, etc.).
4. Once in the session, you will see a window ready to stream the live session or play the recorded session.
5. Your microphone will be mute in live-streaming sessions, and screen sharing will not be allowed.
6. To ask questions of the speaker/presenter, please use Session Q&A.
   
   1. Session hosts will moderate the Session Q&A during the session.
   2. Speakers/presenters can answer questions before, during, and after their sessions!
   3. The Session Q&A is available on both the Whova Phone App and the Whova Web App.

Guidelines for In-Person Speakers

Please recall that NAKHE provides projectors but not laptop computers. Please bring your laptop or make arrangements to share a colleague’s. It’s also wise to have your PowerPoint saved and ready to go on a USB drive.

The hotel Wi-Fi will not handle the bandwidth necessary to live-stream our in-person sessions. Therefore, we are asking if you would kindly pre-record your presentation so we can make it available in the Whova App for colleagues conferencing online and those who couldn’t attend.

Video Directions: (Scroll down for additional guidance on recording your video)

1. You may record your video with any program or application that suits your needs.
2. Save your video as an MP4 file.

1. Most video apps and programs can save videos as MP4 files. Another option is to use a trusted online file converter such as Zamzar to convert your file to MP4.
2. We can convert most video formats to MP4 on your behalf if necessary.
3. If you need assistance with your video, contact Donna Woolard at admin@nakhe.org.

3. Name your file to match your session.
4. Use this Google Form to submit the video of your presentation.

1. If you have difficulty using the form, share or send your video file with/to Donna Woolard at admin@nakhe.org.

5. Please submit your video at your earliest opportunity, but no later than January 1, 2021.

Guidelines for Virtual Speakers

It is preferred that virtual presentations are given live in Zoom via the Whova Web App. However, if the presenter does not feel comfortable doing so, the presentation can also be pre-recorded and made available at the scheduled time. If the presenter’s Internet connection quality is not sufficiently good to run a live presentation, a pre-recorded video of your talk is the best option.

Speakers Giving Live Presentations:

1. Please connect to your session at least 10 minutes before the start of the session.
2. If you plan to play a video during your presentation, it is best to embed it into your PowerPoint or Keynote presentation and play it using that program.
3. Whova does not support breakout rooms. Please don’t include them in your presentation planning.
4. Once in the virtual room, the session host will change your role so that you will be able to activate your microphone and share your screen when it’s your turn to present.
5. Please keep your microphone muted whenever other speakers are presenting.

Speakers Presenting Via Recorded Videos: If you are not going to present live and choose to present via a recorded video, Whova is set up so that your recorded video will not be available until 5 minutes before your session begins. As with live presentations, Session Q&A is available on both the Whova Phone App and the Whova Web App. Yes, even speakers/presenters of recorded sessions can answer questions before, during, and after their sessions.

Video Presentations: If you are pre-recording your virtual session:

1. Save your video as a .mp4 file.
2. Name your file to match your session.
3. Share or send your video file with/to Donna Woolard at admin@nakhe.org.
4. If you have problems uploading your file, contact Donna Woolard at admin@nakhe.org.
5. Please send or share your video at your earliest opportunity, but no later than January 1, 2021.
