Joining the Conference

This EMC Online Conference will be delivered via Zoom. You can download this free program at zoom.us. If you’ve not used Zoom before, please try it out before the day as we are not able to provide individual technical support.

Each registered teacher will be sent full details of how to join the conference the day before and the day of the Conference. Please make sure we have the names and email addresses for the booked teacher attendees at least 3 days before the Conference.

The joining email will come from [email protected] and will include a unique joining link and any resources teachers or students need to participate in the Conference.

If watching in more than one room, make sure each room uses a different unique joining link to join the session.
