Virtual Instructions

Counting Attendance

This is a "live" program.  You must enter Zoom when the program is live.  Once you are let into Zoom your name will be time-stamped and attendance will be counted.  This action will be equivalent to showing up at the registration table at a live symposium to check-in.  If your name does not appear as ever entering a live Zoom session, you will  not be eligible to receive a CEU certificate.  

Our  CATS Virtual Team will receive a list of registered attendees.  You must be a registered attendee to enter the program.  Enter early to make sure you get into Zoom in a timely manner.

Zoom Username

Attendees must use their name as the username so you can be identified for your BOC attendance.  Avoid nicknames.  If you are using your cell or unidentifiable username and you cannot change it, please send a Zoom message the CATS Virtual Team.  Our CATS Virtual Team will also proactively message you if your username is not identifiable, you must share your name when requested or your attendance may not be counted.    

Do I have to remain in Zoom the entire time?

No.  You will not need to remain active during the entire conference.  You may exit and re-enter as needed.  Presentations will be recorded so you can go back and watch any sessions you missed live.

What if we are at the same institution and want to share a computer to watch the program?

Please refer to Counting Attendance.  Once your attendance is counted and time-stamped then you may go back to sharing a computer.  

How will we handle Q&A with both live and virtual attendees?

Everyone needs to use Slido to submit questions to speakers.  These questions will be moderated in Vegas.  Participants will be able to view all questions and upvote their favorite questions.  Download the Slido app or visit CATS Slido Q&A Site and join as a participant.  Meeting code: #CATS2023

Please note that questions on Zoom should be reserved for technical issues and will be managed by our CATS Virtual Team.

Handbooks/Videos

How will I receive my CEU certificate?

Once we receive the time-stamped list of participants, those individuals will receive an email to complete the CATS 2023 Symposium Participant Assessment & Program Evaluation shortly AFTER the symposium.  Once you complete this assessment, we will upload your CEU certificate to your online CATS account.  If you participated in the 2020 Webinar or 2021 or 2022 Virtual Program, the process is the same.  If we make the announcement that the assessment has been emailed and you have not received it,  check the following: 1) your junk mail folder, 2) your institution to see if it was grey-listed, 3) you may have opt-out of receiving Survey Monkey surveys.   If these don't work then please email Josephine Lee, jlee@collegeathletictrainer.org for assistance.  

NSCA CEU Certificate

If you answered "yes" to the registration question regarding registration for NSCA CEU then your certificate will be uploaded into your CAT account post-symposium.  If you did not receive your NSCA CEU certificate, please contact Josephine Lee,  jlee@collegeathletictrainer.org or Jenny Moshak, jmoshak@collegeathletictrainer.org.
