REGISTRATION - Registration is required, but takes just a couple of minutes.
- With the expanded virtual Gathering for this year we are incurring costs, which are about $25/person. We will be asking you for a donation toward these costs during registration.
- There are no Scholarships this year, so if you can afford more than $25, any excess you pay will help compensate us for those who can not afford to pay $25. Thanks.
TECHNICAL TRAINING Join fellow AVPers to explore the various features associated with our Gathering Platforms. This year's Gathering primarily uses Zoom, but includes social time in a new platform (QIQOchat) that will be unfamiliar to you. These trainings are designed to help you feel comfortable and confident during the AVP Virtual National Gathering. - Monday, May 17 (5 - 7 pm EDT)
- Saturday, May 22 (3 - 5 pm EDT)
- Monday, May 24 (7 - 9 pm EDT)
- Wednesday, May 26 (1 - 3 pm EDT)
You will receive Zoom and QIQO links to the Trainings after you register.
A quick intro to basic skills you will need (starting a Zoom session, resizing and moving windows) can be seen in this 3-minute video: Basics Video
| TECHNICAL TIPS
PLATFORMS
- The "always on" Social Time (AVP Gardens) is primarily on a website, so you will need access to a browser to participate.
- Computers and laptops connected to the Internet work best due to their larger screen.
- I-pads/tablets work fine, but the controls are a bit different.
- Smart cell phones work fairly well too, but the small screen size might limit you.
- If you must use a computer without a microphone or speaker, you can listen and talk using a regular phone at the same time.
VIDEO (Zoom)
- Both the Main Gathering and the AVP Gardens Platforms use Zoom for video/audio functions. Many of you will have already participated in a Zoom conference and know the basics.
- If you've never been on Zoom before, you will need to download and install the needed Zoom App before you join the Gathering. Installing the App takes a few minutes.
- Install the Zoom App ahead of time (or just test your Zoom connection) here: https://zoom.us/test.
