Hybrid Meeting Information
Notes for Virtual Attendees
Meeting Information
The meeting will be conducted via Zoom. Recordings will be made and will be
available after the workshop. Video will be provided via an Owl camera
located on the speaker podium. There will be individual breakout sessions on
the late afternoon session of Wednesday, August 2, to discuss future visions for
Chandra; both in-person and virtual attendees will be requested to be on Zoom
for these. Please contact us at cxcworkshop@cfa.harvard.edu
if you have registered for the workshop and have not received the Zoom information
by July 25.
Asking Questions
To minimize the workload on session chairs, we ask that virtual attendees either
use the Zoom "Raise Hand" functionality to request to ask a question themselves or
leave the question as text in the appropriate thread on the conference Slack. We
will have Zoom chat turned off for this conference. We further ask that anyone asking
questions remotely turn on their cameras, if feasible; remote attendees will be
displayed at the front of the room.

Notes for In-Person Attendees
Use of Microphones
The success of the virtual component of this meeting
hinges on all in-person attendees being cognizant of the remote attendees and
ensuring that all talks and questions are given in range of a microphone. To that
end, we have a two-microphone setup utilizing a CatchBox.
For presenters, we have a clip-on lavalier microphone that can also be worn
around the neck with a provided lanyard. For audience members, the Catchbox cube
is a soft, light, throwable microphone that can be passed around quickly without
requiring a volunteer to run a mic around. However, while it is soft and light,
we nevertheless ask that you limit tosses to people near you or to the panel
chair and to only toss underhand.
