Sched – our online schedule

• Review the online schedule on Sched and decide which sessions you’ll be attending, if you haven’t done so already.
• There are no parallel sessions at the conference. Numbered sessions are actually a single group of multiple presentations. For example, on Thursday, May 30, there is one block of three presentations starting at 12:00, and a keynote at 14:00.
• You can log in to Sched with the email address you used during registration.
• Once you’re logged in, you can:
  • Personalize your schedule
  • Add your preferred sessions to your calendar
  • Change your schedule’s timezone – as it’s in Paris time (CEST) by default
  • View the schedule by target audience: faculty, librarians, technologists.
• If you did not receive an invitation from Sched, don’t worry. There were some issues with sending those emails out. But Sched accounts have been created for all registrants, so you can reset/create your password with the same email you used during registration, and then you’ll be able to log in.

Attending sessions via Zoom

• We’ll be using Zoom for all sessions, so make sure you have Zoom installed and updated to latest version.
• On the morning of each day you will receive an email with Zoom links to join that day’s sessions, as well as any updates or resources we may have to share. If you had added any of that day’s sessions to your personal schedule, you’ll receive a separate email highlighting those.
• You will need to sign in to each Zoom session with your name and email address. You don’t need a Zoom account to do this.
• We encourage you to use a web cam so other attendees can see you. Joining from a quiet space and using a headset, earbuds or a good microphone will allow you to participate more easily during the Q&A.
• Zoom’s built-in closed captions can be enabled for those that need it.
• Do not use AI assistants/transcription services, as we will remove them from the session.
• All sessions will be recorded.

Connecting & help during the event

• AMICAL attendees will be able to connect with each other during and after the conference, through AMICAL Connect, the consortium’s online forum. You will need to sign up for AMICAL account, if you don’t already one.
• If you need help about anything related to AMICAL or the Conference, reply to this message (or email us at contact@amicalnet.org)

After the event

• We can issue certificates of attendance to those who attend the sessions live, as long as they sign in to Zoom using their institutional email address. We are not able to certify attendance for watching the recordings, or for multiple colleagues who attend from the same device. You will be able to request your certificate via a form after the conclusion of the Conference.
• We will share registration data with session organizers (including vendors) to facilitate follow-up after the event.
