Scheduling Your Office Hours
We are excited to offer TMS 2021 presenters a way to interact with attendees interested in your presentations. Welcome to “Office Hours”.
These optional Office Hours sessions let you schedule times to hold a video chat with attendees in a virtual meeting room – similar to Zoom. These rooms can hold up to 50 people.
You are welcome to hold up to two (2) Office Hours sessions during TMS 2021, November 3-5.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- To participate in Office Hours, you must register as a TMS 2021 attendee. Even if you schedule a time, you will be unable to participate in the discussion if you are not registered. Register here.
- All times must be scheduled as (Eastern Time) ET. Please pay attention to this while selecting your times.
- Please make sure you are available for the entire Office Hours session. Attendees are permitted to drop in at any point during your scheduled time.
- Office Hours are NOT mandatory.
Helpful Hints
- While there have no time limits for the length of your office hours, we recommend 30 minutes. This creates a sense of urgency for the attendees and means it is more likely that they will arrive at the start of your session.
- Good news! If you go over your scheduled time, your Office Hours will not be cut off. You will be able to continue your conversations.
- Remember that Office Hours are an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and delve into your work. Think of this as a Q&A session; not a time to do your full presentation again.
