In shifting to a virtual format, the conference organising committee has thought deeply about many different options, looked at what other conferences are doing, and reflected on what we as NAGCAS members would like in a virtual conference.

One of the biggest challenges is the program. We needed to consider how to schedule presentations across 5 time zones, accommodating international keynote speakers (more time zones), and potentially attracting an international audience. We thought about flexibility so you don't have to sit in front of Zoom for 3 days straight, as well as recognising that your boss might still expect you to do your normal work at the same time. The other issue is about why we attend conferences in the first place. This is often about catching up with friends and colleagues, and developing new connections over morning tea, dinner, or drinks.

So, this is what we have come up with:

Conference Moodle Site

We are building a conference site on the Moodle platform. This will enable us to provide all delegates with access to the content for 6 months (30 November 2020 through to 31 May 2021). We will be able to have prepared content that you can access when it suits you, and you'll be able to interact with other delegates and sponsors.

Live presentations

Each day from 30 November to 4 December we will have on average 3 live events-a keynote presentation, a panel discussion, and an interactive workshop. There will be a total of 15+ hours of live presentations over the 5 days. All live presentations will be recorded and uploaded to the Conference Moodle site within a few hours. All speakers at live sessions have been invited by the program committee. This is to ensure high quality presentations and that a diversity of topics relevant to a range of practitioner roles.

Concurrent sessions

A traditional conference will have a call for abstracts and selection process, then at the conference you are limited to choosing one of five or six presentations to attend. We thought it was time to introduce a new way of delegates sharing their work. We have set up a Padlet board inside the Conference Moodle site. Here anyone will be able to share their work. This could be uploading a PowerPoint slide deck, linking to a YouTube video, linking to your website to feature a new program you've developed, or even sharing some photos or writing a short blog post. Once you've posted to the Padlet board, other delegates will be able to leave a comment and give you a 5-star rating. The Padlet board has five themes - career education, careers counselling, employer engagement, employability programs, and research. We'll announce more instructions later in the year.

Social Events

Some clever and creative people are putting together a social program. We'll keep this a surprise for now, but we're confident it will be fun.

Pricing

The price for this conference is about 10-15% of what the registration fee would be for a normal NAGCAS conference, plus you don't have to pay for flights and accommodation. This is a really good deal in that you'll have access to 15+ hours of live presentations, plus access to lots of great ideas from your national colleagues.
