    EBSQ Live! Procedures

    You can join the chat through the EBSQ website by simply clicking on the chat button on the community page of our site. Pick a nickname and select "login."

    When you enter the chat please be patient as things get started. During Live! presentations please refrain from saying "Hello" to everyone who enters or "Bye" to everyone leaving early. Though that is nice in casual chat it is not conducive to staying within the schedule and you can always stay to visit for Coffee Talk after EBSQ Live! wraps up!

    As the Live! session begins there will be a short time for any announcements and an introduction of the first presenter. Each presentation has 10-15 minutes scheduled and a 10 minute question/answer period afterwards before the next session starts. Resources and visual images may be included in some of these mini-workshops for you to click on to open them in your web browser. Questions and comments will be taken in order and if you don't get yours in then please feel free to ask after Live! concludes. If you like what you are seeing and want to have a copy of the information, then keep an eye out for the Session to be posted on the web for you to review later.

    Are you new to chat? Don't worry! It is as simple as typing. However, you are not required to actively participate during the Live! presentations so sit back and soak in the information.

    EBSQ Live! Rules of Conduct

    This is our professional forum for real time exchange and all conduct should reflect this standard. Any inappropriate or abusive behavior will result in the immediate removal of the offending party from the EBSQ Live! session and may even result in a permanent ban. This is not debatable.


    If you have an area of expertise and are interested in submitting an idea for conducting a future EBSQ Live! presentation then please contact Melissa Morton at edu@ebsqart.com
