Is this your first time attending a Library 2.0 event that uses Blackbaord Collaborate (BbC) as the meeting platform?

BbC is an incredibly stable platform, allowing us to host events with large numbers of participants from all over the world, with even those in low-bandwidth situations able to attend. However, to accomplish this, the program utilizes a Java launcher, and if you haven't used it before, it can take 10+ minutes to download (usually not, but with a large group like today, it might).

Some quick tips:

  1. Please try logging into the main keynote room as early as possible. This way, if the download is needed, you won't be frustrated.
  2. If you have trouble getting the program to work, because we have 3500+ people registered, we are not able to give personal support at during the event. You can use the link on the attending page to watch the opening session via YouTube, then you may have to wait for the recordings to process to watch them (should all be done later today).
  3. You can also try using the mobile apps (Android and iPhone), links for which are on the main attending page (previous email with that link below). You should be able to download the app, then go to the attending page on your mobile device browser and click on the session link(s).

Thanks for understanding the complexities associated with offering such an online conference. Here's to a great event!
