Summer 2015 Remote Details

Information on how to join the meeting remotely and access codes are here.

We’re excited to have so many virtual attendees and encourage you to participate in the meeting as much as possible. Below are a few ways to do so.

  • ESIP Connects, our meeting app, allows you to view the schedule, speakers and posters. Before downloading and installing the app, check it out using the visitor web portal. Here you can learn more about the app and sign in to begin setting up your customized event.
  • WebEx has a chat feature, which will enable you to talk amongst yourselves or, more importantly, talk with the session moderator. Please use WebEx chat to send a question to the moderator, who will then relay it to the live group. You can also use chat to make us aware of sound issues, for example, to request that the microphone be moved close to the speaker.
  • Social media users should follow @ESIPfed on Twitter and @Federation-of-Earth-Science-Information-Partners-ESIP on Facebook to keep up with meeting activities and updates. We encourage virtual attendees to share their meeting experience on social media. Tag your posts #ESIPFed; later we’ll gather some of these posts into a Storify to show what happens at an ESIP meeting.
