Support for Quest Presenters

All required Zoom links will be provided by the Quest Team.  You do not need to setup your own Zoom link.

Poster sessions will take place from 12:30 - 2pm.  The finalized Quest schedule will be posted to the Attendify App including the presentation time for each poster.  The schedule will include the "Break Out Room" assignment for each poster as well as the Zoom link associated with that room.

When it is time to present, login to the Zoom link shown with the poster's break out room.

Presenters will stay in the break out room for the duration of the session while viewers enter and exit.  Presenters should be ready to share the poster with participants and direct them to other supplemental materials that can be made available by uploading them for inclusion in the presenter's Attendify profile.  Materials will be collected through an email sent to all presenters or you can Upload your Materials here.  If you need to send other files or update your files, please contact [email protected].  Participants can verbally ask questions within the break out session or engage through the chat function. Poster session break out rooms will not be recorded.

More information and advice on presenting a Virtual Poster can be found here.

Please use the Zoom link for the poster session listed in the program on Attendify.

When you are in the general Zoom room for the poster session, click on "Breakout Rooms."  Note, if you don't see Breakout Rooms at the bottom of your Zoom window, click the three dots over the word More. If that doesn't reveal Breakout Rooms as an option then you will need to upgrade to the latest version of Zoom  

Click on Breakout Rooms and you will see a list of the rooms you can join.  The name of the poster is the name of the room.  Select the name of the poster you are presenting/interested in seeing to enter the Breakout Room.

For a live presentation, you can use whatever format you are comfortable with and is compatible with your computer. 

When it comes to uploading to Attendify and Oswego's Digital Library for archiving, please upload a PDF (poster without recorded narration) or MOV (poster with recorded narration).

The Quest conference program will be available within the Attendify App.  The app allows conference participants to explore the program, access materials and build a schedule for the day.  The program will have time slots and Zoom links for each individual session.  

Quest participants are encouraged to create profiles within the app and will be prompted by email to  attach any materials (Word docs, PDF, PowerPoint) to their profiles that they intend to share with conference participants  You can also upload your files here.

1.  Access the program in Attendify.  Attendify has a Desktop Interface and a mobile app.  Login to the Desktop Interface here.  Or, download the app here.
2. Create a profile within the app (add a picture, your bio or link to your social media accounts)
3. Upload any materials associated with your Quest presentations including papers, PDFs or PowerPoint (an email prompting this action will be sent to each presenter). Or you can upload your files here.
4. Search the program and build your schedule for the day.  Note, the schedule feature is only available on mobile.  Bookmark your presentation or the presentations you'd like to see and even set a reminder.  View your bookmarked presentations to view your "schedule."

For non-poster presentations, the Quest Session Chair will have the role of welcoming attendees to that session, introducing the presenters, moderating Q&A and making sure the session runs on time.

For poster presentations, the Quest Session Chair will not be in the breakout room with each individual poster presenter. Instead the Session Chair will be available during the duration of the poster time window and can direct attendees to the appropriate poster breakout room as needed.
