Hybrid Event Tech Options

ICERM is able to support three distinct levels of hybrid events in the lecture hall: 

Fully In Person
All speakers and registered participants attend in person and are present in the room. Talks are live-streamed for remote viewing via ICERM’s website in accordance with the Live Streaming Policy. Remote viewers have no direct means of interaction with those in the lecture hall. 
Hybrid using Zoom Webinar
Some speakers and participants are remote. All registered participants will be given a link to the webinar. Only the speaker and session chair, will have the ability to control their video and microphone. Other Participants may interact by text in Zoom’s chat function or by requesting permission to turn on their microphone from the session chair. Live streaming will also be active, as in option 1. Note that this option requires a high level of moderation on the part of the session chair. 
Hybrid using Zoom Meetings
Some speakers and participants are remote. All registered participants will be given a link to the meeting. By default, all participants have the ability to be visible via video and can use their microphones to interact with the speaker and those in the lecture hall. Remote participants who have their cameras enabled are visible to the speaker on a monitor at the back of the room. Live streaming will also be active as in option 1. This option still requires some active moderation on the part of the session chair.
