They usually come about as a result of a topic that has emerged. These happen often at AERO conferences. Generally, the person offering or organizing a session\u00a0will let participants know what it&#8217;s about and where it&#8217;s happening. If it is a virtual session the person organizing the sessions will have to provide their own link to whatever platform they will be using.\u00a0 Anyone who is registered for the conference may offer a pop-up session.\u00a0<br>&#8212;-<strong>Does AERO endorse and monitor pop-up sessions?\u00a0<\/strong>AERO does not monitor or vette pop-up sessions.\u00a0 AERO is not responsible for the content or delivery of pop-up sessions.\u00a0\u00a0<br>&#8212;-<strong>How will I get access to the virtual sessions?<\/strong>You will receive a link that will have all the live links for the virtual sessions the day before the conference begins.\u00a0<br>&#8212;-<strong>Will there be Youth Presenters?<\/strong>Yes, the AERO conference is multigenerational and will feature many youth presenters.<br>&#8212;-<strong>Will there be a central room where people will come to gather and get information?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, there will be a virtual main room for the virtual portion of the conference and the registration desk for the in-person portion of the conference, where participants can\u00a0come get information.\u00a0<br>&#8212;-<strong>Will there be networking?\u00a0<\/strong>Networking is the backbone of the\u00a0AERO\u00a0conference.\u00a0We encourage people to use the Whova app to network (see below).\u00a0You can also come to the virtual main room or registration desk at any time during the\u00a0conference.\u00a0 There will be plenty of time for networking.\u00a0<\/p><p>&#8212;-<strong>Can I go to more than one workshop during a session?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes<strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong>you can attend as many as you wish.<\/p><p>&#8212;-<strong>What is the Whova App?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>Whova is an app that can be used for networking, offering pop-up sessions, accessing the schedule, and conference announcements.
