Information for Attendees

This is information on attending KLCC. Information for presenters can be found here.

KLCC will take place online through Zoom. Links will be sent to registered participants by May 28, 2021. Please register here in order to get access to the Zoom links to attend KLCC. Registration for KLCC is free.

The program for KLCC is available here. You'll be able to download abstracts and handouts from our Google Drive folder.

Synchronous Component: Zoom

The conference will be held over Zoom with both pre-recorded and live presentations. Password-protected links to the conference Zoom meetings will be sent to registered attendees the day before.

Zoom Etiquette

We will be using the regular Zoom format to hold the conference. This means that we will need the cooperation of all attendees to help make things run smoothly.

All participants will be muted upon entry to the zoom session. We ask that you keep your microphone muted during the presentation, and only unmute yourself during breaks or during the Q&A when instructed by the moderator. The moderator may mute you during a presentation if you forget to do so.

It is up to you whether your camera is on, but we would like to encourage you to turn the camera on during the Q&A period, especially if you are asking a question. You might also consider adding a picture of yourself to display while your camera is off.

Live Q&A

Questions will be handled through Zoom's raise hand feature and the chat. If you would like to ask your question, please raise your hand. If you would like to have your question read, please type it into the chat.
