AC 2020: Join us for a technology training and check-in

Tech Checks

The 27th session of the Dakotas Annual Conference, happening October 10 online, will be conducted on a Zoom business webinar platform (this is different from the Zoom system most people are familiar with). All delegates have been asked to attend a procedural orientation or technology training on October 5 or 6.

Monday, October 5 at 12 p.m. CDT, 11 a.m. MDT Join here

Monday, October 5 at 8 p.m. CDT, 7 p.m. MDT Join here

Tuesday, October 6 at 7 p.m. CDT, 6 p.m. MDT Join here

If you have difficulty joining the training call this 478-275-4042.

The tech check-in sessions are an opportunity to check out your connections and see how the technology will work. If you have questions about these technology check-in sessions or about annual conference registration contact Susan Punt at 605-9907796 or at susan.punt@dakotasumc.org. 

Interaction will be limited but possible; through the platform, people will be able to indicate they want to comment, make a motion, or propose an amendment. When recognized by the Bishop to speak, they will be able to unmute their microphone to address the body. To learn about how interaction will work, check out this cheat sheet

Here are some things to note about the Zoom webinar platform: 

  • Voting members will need to use a device with a stable internet connection. This can be a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
  • Only one vote can be cast from each device. Each voter will need their own device. At this time, it is not possible to vote via a voice-only phone line.
  • For each session, participants are encouraged to sign-in 10 to 15 minutes in advance.
  • There will be several people dedicated to helping individuals with any connection problems.
