FAQ
The "live program" refers to the Google Doc that has the program for the conference. The term was used to indicate that any changes are updated as they are happening in the program document. For example, a change in location/room for a given session. Both morning and afternoon paper sessions will be held in person.
A link to the program is available on this page (see the links at the top of the page)
The Keynote address, which is part of the Morning Plenary, as well as the Three Minute Competition, which is happening during lunch, will be streamed live. Zoom links will be updated on the conference program by the end of day on February 16, 2023.
The schedule, as well as other details about the conference, are available on the MT Research Conference Program as a Google Document. Any changes, if applicable, will be reflected on the document so pleace ensure that you check it frequently.
If you have any questions about the conference, including presentation format or accommodations, please reach out to your Research 2 instructor.
You can just bring a USB or use an online shared link to the file with the session chair in advance. Every room has a session chair that has a computer available to connect to the audio/video system in the room. However, it might be a good idea to bring your own device as a backup and any adapters in that might be needed in case you don't have a standard HDMI or VGA port on your machine.
The department doesn't have any spare adapters to lend out. In case the room doesn't have the appropriate adapter (e.g., a lightning port connection to present from an iPad), you are encouraged to share the file with the chair or one of the other presenters that have a compatible device.
The continued use of masks in the building is strongly encouraged. This is particularly important in areas where social distancing cannot be maintained. More information on the Navigating the In-Person Experience at OISE page.
Presenters and attendees will arrange for their own lunch. Year 2 TCs are encouraged to plan lunch nearby OISE in their cohorts. Year 1 TCs, given that the Three Minute Competition is happening during lunch, could arrange for lunch before or after the competition (exiting a paper session earlier or joining a paper session late, in order to have lunch or for other personal reasons, will not affect attendance). Refer to the Covid-19 information page for places to eat at OISE.
