Procedures

• The speaker(s) need to dial in to the assigned phone number approximately 15 minutes prior to start of conference. At that time, they will be placed in a sub-conference. While in this mode, *0 may be pressed to speak with a live operator.
• Participants will enter the conference by dialing their assigned phone number. It is advisable that participants dial in approximately 10-15 minutes before the conference is scheduled to begin. All participants who dial in will need to give the operator their first and last name. After that information is given to an operator the participant will be placed on music hold to await the start of the conference.
• When the conference begins, it will be placed in lecture mode. In this mode, the speakers will be able to speak to all of the attendees of the conference and all other lines will be muted.
• If a question and answer period is required. the speakers will cue the operator when they are ready to take questions and the operator will give instructions to the participants on how to raise their hand to ask a question of the speakers. The operator will go through all participants who have raised their hands and inform the speakers when there are no further questions. When the speakers have concluded with their presentation, everyone may disconnect from the conference.
• A rebroadcast of the conference will be available two hours after the call is complete. Any parties who are interested in listening to the rebroadcast may dial in to retrieve the recording. The recording is password protected for added security.
