Sneak Peek into the Platform

After our success using the event platform Accelevents for the 2020 Naviant Summit, we knew that Accelevents was our answer once again. This is an all-in-one virtual event platform that prioritizes a seamless, interactive user experience. If you’re new to the platform or want a refresher, we’ve got you covered:

Networking

Yes, it is possible to network 1:1 with other attendees at a virtual event!

One of the biggest advantages of attending the Naviant Summit has always been the chance to connect with other OnBase users. Historically, attendees of the Naviant Summit have represented a wide range of industries and varying degrees of expertise. This has made for a rich networking experience for all, as countless attendees have reported. Now that we’re going virtual, this is truer than ever. Without the constraints of geography and travel costs, accessibility to Summit is even greater, as this has expanded our pool of attendees.

How it Works:

In short, the virtual networking process will feel somewhat like “speed dating.”

Once you have entered the virtual event, you will find the “Networking” tab in the left menu, as seen below:

When you click on it, you will be directed to the networking space. Here you can select the “meet up” group that you would like to join. When you join a meet up group, you don’t enter it immediately. You will see this second screen.

This gives you the chance to get situated. Make sure your webcam is on, your background is clean, check your hair, check your teeth, etc. Then, when you are all set, click “I’m Ready.”

You will be matched with another attendee and have 3 minutes to chat. There is a timer at the top and it’ll end exactly at 3 minutes, so make sure you are wrapping up your conversation or you will get cut off.

There is a blue connect button at the bottom of the screen. This is like exchanging business cards. If you’d like to connect with the person you are talking with, they will receive a notification (bell at the top right corner). You can then verify if you’d like to connect with that person as well by clicking on the notification bell in the top right corner.

After the 3 minutes are over, you’ll be matched with the next person, and the process will repeat.

After you’re done networking, you’ll be able to view the people you agreed to “Connect” with in the “People” tab, also located in the left panel of the Summit site.

The People section lists everyone at the Naviant Summit, including speakers. This is where you’ll find their contact information for further interaction after the Summit. If you connected with someone and they accepted, there will be a green checkmark on the top right of their picture. You will see there is a chat option, where you can send that individual a direct chat message. Or you could video chat with them which would work similarly to the networking. One final option would be to set up a meeting using the virtual platform.

Sessions

Raise your hand if you’re sick of conference calls! Fortunately, the platform we’re hosting the Summit on brings the classic video conference experience to the next level. It offers interactive features that take the passivity out of video conferencing so you can feel like you’re there in-person.  And, your participation is vital to help us know if you are liking the event.

First, this is what it will look like to be in a session. Then direct your attention to the red box area we highlighted.

Let’s check out some of the audience engaging features:

Chat

The chat tab is here to connect you with other attendees and speakers

• Share your thoughts on the topics at hand but save your questions for the Q&A section.
• Comment on something that you found interesting.
• Bounce ideas off each other.
• Say hello to your peers.
• If there is a technical error, such as the presenter is on mute or you cannot see the presentation, please let us know in the chat so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Pro Tip: You can also react without words using the emoji feature, located to the right of your chat text box. This lively feature will help bring some human emotion to the session room. Did a presenter make you smile? Did they crack a hilarious joke? Let them know! It’s eerily quiet on their end, and they want to know if you’re liking the presentation. We encourage you to provide them feedback with an emoji – they’ll appreciate it!

While presenters and moderators will be monitoring the chat, this feature is not meant for attendee questions, but don’t worry – there’s a tab for that!

Q&A

Got a question? The Q&A tab allows you to connect with presenters. Simply click on the “Q&A” tab, enter your question into the text box at the bottom of your screen, and click “Submit.” Your presenter will either answer your question during or at the end of the presentation, or they may submit a written response to your question within the Q&A tab.

Polls

If the presenter creates a poll, it will appear in the “Polls” tab. You will receive a notification when this happens in the form of a small green dot above the Polls tab, so be sure to keep a lookout!

People

The “people” tab, located between the “Polls” and “Q&A” tabs, is where you can view your fellow session attendees. If you click on an individual person, you can chat directly with them separately from the group.
