General Questions About the Conference
Question: What is a "virtual conference"?
Answer: The Virtual AD/HD Conference™ is just like a physical conference—the experts in the world of AD/HD will be gathered in one place to present the latest information and strategies to an audience of adults, parents, and professionals.
However, rather than traveling to a conference, the Virtual AD/HD Conference™ comes to you!
You'll access each presentation either by calling into a live teleseminar or by downloading an MP3 recording or listening on CD after the presentation. You can also view or download slides provided by the speakers.
And there will be forums in which you can discuss the presentations with your peers—just like at a physical conference!
Question: Do I have to attend all the sessions?
Answer: No, you do not have to attend all the sessions. You can pick and choose which sessions you'd like to attend live, and you can listen to session recordings after the presentations.
Question: What time are the sessions?
Answer: The conference agenda is located at http://www.ADHDconference.com/agenda.shtml. Please note the agenda is subject to change.
Question: Do I need special software to attend the conference?
Answer: No, you do not need special software to attend the conference.
Question: What options do I have for listening live?
Answer: You will have the choice of either dialing in via telephone, the way you would on a conference call, or you can listen live on the web. Listening on the web is very easy provided you have a working flash player (almost all computers do)—all you will have to do is "press play".
Question: Do I need to be web savvy to attend the conference?
Answer: While we have made every effort to make your conference experience as easy as possible, please keep in mind that you will be using your computer and an Internet connection to access most of the conference materials.
If you are comfortable using your computer and navigating the Internet, then you should be comfortable attending the Virtual AD/HD Conference™.
Question: Will there be a video component to the conference?
Answer: No, there will not be a video component, but there will be slides shown live during each session. If you do not attend a session live, you will still be able to download or print the slides.
Question: How long will the presentation recordings and other materials be available on the conference website?
Answer: The presentation recordings and other materials will remain on the website for 3 months following the conference. However, you must be registered for the conference in order to have access to the website.
Question: What is the cancellation policy?
Answer: Cancellations will be accepted through September 26, 2010. A full refund less an administrative fee of $25 will be issued. No cancellations or refunds will be accepted after September 26, 2010.
Question: Are Continuing Education Credits (CEs) available for professionals attending the conference?
Answer: We will not be offering CE credits this year, but we hope you decide to join us anyway! If you are in need of CE credits, our friends at the National Association for Continuing Education (NACE) offer some great online and home study courses. Their website is http://www.naceonline.com/index.html.
Question: Are there scholarships available?
Answer: We are not able to offer scholarships at this time.
