Hybrid Conference FAQs
Question: When is the conference?
Answer: On 16th and 18th November 2022.
Question: What is a ‘Hybrid’ conference?
Answer: This is a conference that combines a “live” in-person audience (in a conference center) with a “virtual” online (streaming the live event online).
Question: Why has KCOA adopted ‘Hybrid’ conference?
Answer: The COVID-19 situation is still with us and some of our members might not want to be in a crowded space. To give an opportunity for all to attend, we will stream the conference online. It is also cheaper and more convenient to attend virtually.
Question: Will I stream the entire conference? Will that not be too cumbersome?
Answer: KCOA has designed a conference application that will allow virtual audience to select the presentations they would like to stream from an e-program (contains links to each presentation). A single click link will grant you access to the particular presentation for streaming. This means you do not need to stream the entire conference.
Question: How do I get the KCOA Conference application?
Answer: This will be provided to those who pay the conference registration fee ONLY.
Question: Can the application be shared by several individuals?

Answer: Yes. Virtual audience will be able to see presenters and audience in the physical event, as well as the presentations. They will also participate through an open Q&A and CHAT.
Question: Will virtual audience interact with Sponsors/exhibitors?
Answer: Yes. The conference application has a ‘Sponsor Lounge’ where material will be posted for access by all audience. Sponsors will also make presentations that will be streamed live.
Question: Will I get a certificate of attendance?
Answer: Yes. All attendees will be issued with certificates after the conference.
