Re: [BCN Speakers] for Abby

[MILT CAPPS]

The barcamp site doesn't seem to allow me to edit the abstract/description of the panel, ie, I don't seem to have permission to edit that portion...? Milt

Thanks, Randy!

 

Yes, panel setup shouldn't be much different from last year. The production team is working on the logistics now, but tentatively this is what you could expect:

 

Panelists will be on the stage in Rock Bar. Each panelist will have a chair behind a 6 or 8 foot table (depending on the number of panelists) with a wired mic each, plus moderator will have a wireless mic. The moderator can go into the crowd to ask questions with the wireless or can stay on the stage. The stage also will have a portable screen next to the table, and at the audience level, front-and-center, there will be a projector on a stand with room for a laptop (which presenters bring).

 

As for next steps for panel leaders, please be sure the members of your panel:

1. have created a profile on the BCN12 website
2. are added to your session description
3. and have joined this group.

Otherwise, we're all set for now!

 

Best,

Abby

I know from last year that a pannel is nothing new, but wanted to make sure that myself and anyone involved in the pannel are ready. Also if there is anything you need us to provide you with let us know.

I apologize for the confusion, Milt. 

Apparently, after session draw the editing features are turned off to avoid any major changes that the crew might be unaware of and such. However you can send me the edits you want to make and I'll forward them to our web guy.

Thanks!

Abby

Hi Abby,

Just another "dumb-ish" question:  What does it mean to be on a panel - and are panels centered around specific topics?  Oh, and how do you know if you're going to be on one?

Thanks!

Hi Sandy!

 

As a former teacher, I believe there are no dumb questions :)

 

Panels are coordinated by speakers in advance, so when someone submitted a session, they had an option to identify it as a panel and to add the panelists. Unless someone has directly requested you join their panel, then you are considered a solo speaker. Panels are coordinated in advance prior to session draw and cover the topic of choice by the moderator or group of panelists. All of our panels have been identified through the session draw already, so you would know by now if you were asked to be included in one. From my list of sessions, I see that you have your own solo session.

 

I hope that clears it up for you!

 

Thanks,

Abby

[Sandy Brownlee]

Abby -

Gotcha!  Now I hope I didn't inadvertently identify my session as a panel!

Thank!
Sandy

[Nicole Branigan]

I have a couple of quick questions:

1. How soon in advance will we know when our sessions are?

2. Will we need to bring our own powerpoint "clickers" to our session or will they be available?

Thanks!

Nicole

[abby whisenant]

Hi Nicole! Thanks for the questions. If you would like to use a remote for your presentation, you will need to provide that on your  own. I will start a new thread and address other tech details soon.

As for session time slots and room assignments, I am waiting to hear back from our program manager now to see if we have a more defined timeline for this. The production team has been waiting for sign-ups to level out so that we have an idea of which sessions will need certain rooms based on space, etc. I'll send an announcement as soon as I get more details though.

Thanks again for reaching out!

Best,

Abby
