CUPMAC 2021 Virtual Conference Guidelines for Attendees 

Welcome to the CUPMAC 2021 Virtual Conference! We are so excited that you are joining us this year for this wonderful professional development opportunity. 

To help you get the most out of the CUPMAC 2021 Virtual Conference, we have put together some helpful guidelines, instructions, and tips so you can fully enjoy the virtual experience! Please take a moment to review the guidelines below before logging onto the Virtual Conference Platform. 

All Attendees must have the Zoom Client for Meetings downloaded on the electronic device they are using to access the conference. If you have participated in Zoom meetings prior to the conference, this is already downloaded to your computer. If not, you can manually download it at https://zoom.us/download (select Zoom Client for Meetings) or it will automatically install the first time you join a Zoom meeting. 

 

How do I log onto the Virtual Conference Platform? 

On each day of the conference, June 22, 23 & 24, you will receive an email from ExpoPass (our virtual conference provider) with a “Magic Link” button. The Magic Link is your ticket into the conference. Each Magic Link is customized to an individual attendee and cannot be shared. You MUST use this link to access the Virtual Conference Platform. Please contact CUPMAC@gmail.com  if you are unable to find your Magic Link. 

How do I find a list of the keynotes, sessions, and exhibits I would like to participate in? 

Once you have accessed the CUPMAC 2021 Virtual Conference platform using the Magic Link, you will be directed to the conference homepage. It looks similar to any normal webpage. Scroll down on this page, and you will see an inset panel on the right-hand side – this panel is the “heart of the conference.” The inset panel provides a list of live events by day and time. If you would like to view the full list of events for the three days, simply click the blue bottom at the top of the panel that says, “Event Schedule”. 

 

Once you have located a session/keynote that you would like to join, just click on the title, and you will be directed to the session/keynote page where you can join the integrated LIVE Zoom! 

 

How do I join the Zoom Room for a Session or Keynote? 

All Zoom rooms are integrated into the virtual conference platform. When you select the session you are interested in joining from the event schedule, you will be directed to the session page for that meeting. Each session page has a video box where you will join the session. When you arrive on the session page, click “Join” in the video box at the time the session is scheduled to begin. You will be directed to the Zoom webpage where you will automatically join the meeting. 

 

How do I find the Virtual Exhibit Hall? Is this where I can meet the vendors/sponsors? 

The Virtual Exhibit Hall is open twice each day, with two Sessions, A and B, at different times. 

Session A includes:  

  • Konica Minolta 

  • Epson  

  • DocketManager  

  • Pitney Bowes  

  • Mactac  

  • GBC  

Session B includes: 

  • Canon  

  • ND Graphics  

  • Skandacor 

  • SmartSoft/Presswise  

  • Ricoh  

  • Spicers 

 

Be sure to check the Event Schedule for times and drop-in to visit all our generous sponsors! 

 

The Virtual Exhibit Hall is where you can connect with all of the sponsors/vendors that are participating in the conference. You can choose which vendor booth you would like to visit by selecting the blue button “Exhibitors” on the homepage in the inset panel. 

You will be directed to a list of all the vendors hosting booths at the conference. Click on the desired vendor, and you will be taken to their exhibit page. On this page, you will find important information about the vendor, products, and sales representative contact information. You will be able to have live discussions or watch live product demonstrations using the integrated Zoom Room. Product brochures, marketing materials, and other valuable resources will be available to download from the Virtual Exhibit Booth page. 

 

Will my video and audio be on when I join the Zoom meetings? 

Participants audio will be on mute when joining any Zoom meeting during the conference. We ask that you leave your audio muted unless you are directed by a session moderator to unmute. Your video will be on when you join. 

 

If I have questions during a session how can I ask it? 

In addition to the presenters, each session has an assigned moderator. The moderator will monitor all questions from the participants and manage how they are answered. If you would like to ask a verbal question, please use the “Reaction Icons” located on the bottom of your Zoom screen and select “raise hand.” The moderator will ask you to unmute and ask your question. If you prefer to ask questions using chat, you can click on the “chat button” on the bottom of your Zoom screen and type your question into the chat box. 

 

What if I miss a session or keynote/educational speaker, can I watch a recording? 

Yes. All sessions and speakers will be recorded and remain on the platform for up to a year. You can use your Magic Link to access the platform at any time and watch the recorded session by clicking the link in the video box on the session page. The recorded sessions and keynotes will be uploaded to the virtual platform within ten (10) days after the conference.
