Frequently Asked Questions

How do I join a session?

To join a session, visit our website on the day of the summit and select the session you’d like to attend for each time block. There will be a Join Session button on the day of the event. No registration or special code is required.  To ensure a smooth session, please join on time and keep your microphone muted when you enter or room or are not speaking. 

How do I receive a copy of the presentation materials such as a PowerPoint?

We are encouraging presenters to provide their materials and handouts one week in advance to our team, so that we can put the materials on our summit webpage. Each session’s description will have a link to any submitted session materials. Links to materials may also be shared in the chat by the session moderators. 

How do I receive contact hours?

If you want to receive contact hours, make sure to complete the evaluation survey at the end of the last session you attend. Moderators in each session will provide a code for the sessions you participated in.  Keep track of them throughout the Summit. At the end of the day, use the evaluation survey to check the box for each session you attended and enter the corresponding code in the provided text box. We will verify your attendance and send a certificate within two weeks. 

How do I join the discussion board?

We encourage you to join our Top Hat discussion boards before, during, and after the summit to share your thoughts to share your thoughts, ask questions, and connect with others. Simply log in as an anonymous user using the “Join Discussion Board” button on the Summit homepage, find the relevant board, and make a post. Don’t forget to include your name and organization. We look forward to your contributions and continued engagement beyond the summit! 

How do I request accommodations?

We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations. Live captioning will be provided at the keynote and lunch plenary. Zoom will provide closed captions throughout the entire event. Please submit additional accommodation requests by Friday, August 16 via email: OhioSFEC@osu.edu.

How do I participate in the Summit Office Hours with Katie Novak?

Katie Novak’s office hours will be held on Monday, September 23 at 3:00pm. We hope that you will join us virtually to ask questions and discuss ideas generated from the keynote. This is a free event to replicate virtually those moments at a conference when you would connect with a presenter to ask a follow-up question or share an idea. Join Office Hour
