Virtual Networking
“Virtual Chair provided us an opportunity to network in a virtual way.”
TransAIR 2021
“The opportunity for an unforced social interaction with colleagues in the virtual setting.”
CU Boulder Ph.D. Open House Spring 2021
“It is now over and I think it went very well. The idea of posters worked and people were attending them. On average I think posters were visited not less than in a real meeting and this is already a success of its own.”
Initial Stages 2021
"We were also impressed with the accommodation of a space for our visually disabled attendee."
