Overview of Zoom Events

This year, the MacPherson Institute will use Zoom Events to coordinate and promote all of its events. The Zoom Events platform will help to streamline partner participation and attendee registration for events happening in the month of May.  

During Teaching and Learning Month, Zoom Events will be the hub of activities. On Wednesday April, 24th the virtual lobby will open and attendees can join the lobby by clicking the event link hub and clicking “Join Lobby.” From here you can create a profile for yourself and start building an itinerary of events you want to attend.

Events will be a mix of in-person, hybrid and online. Attendees should pay close attention to the format of their event to ensure they can plan to join the session using the appropriate method. 

What does this mean for hosts of events?

• Partners will need to have an active Zoom account (see below for more details) 
• Partners will still be asked to complete the submission form 
• Once events are submitted they will be created in Zoom Events as part of a month-long event listing that will include all Teaching and Learning Month events 
• Partners will then receive a link to their event so they can add an event description and information about the speaker(s)
  

What does this mean for attendees of events?

• Attendees will need to have an active Zoom account (see below for more details) 
• Attendees will only have to register for Teaching and Learning Month, rather than registering for each individual event they wish to attend 
• Once registered for Teaching and Learning Month, participants can create their own schedule for all the events they wish to attend
