2023 AFS Annual Meeting Hybrid Session Application
AFS is planning for a very limited track of hybrid sessions at the in-person meeting in Portland. By "hybrid," we mean an in-person paper session or forum that has at least one remote participant and thus two audiences: those watching the session in the physical room and those participating in or watching the session remotely through Zoom.NOTES:
1. Given the limited number of hybrid time slots, the Review Committee will be quite selective when considering applications for hybrid sessions. If you wish to be considered for hybrid, look for the tick box to indicate your interest in hybrid mode when you submit your session proposal, and fill out this form to provide more information about your plans.
2. Preference will be given to proposals that demonstrate that hybrid mode will benefit both virtual and in-person audiences, and articulate a deliberate and convincing plan facilitating interaction among all participants and managing the technology to support that interaction.
3. Notify AFS immediately if any of your panelists’ plans change. Bear in mind that AFS will not be able to switch hybrid panels to be fully virtual after the point of scheduling. Moreover, the AV setup must be customized to support hybrid access, so hybrid panels will be expected to proceed in a hybrid mode even if all participants attend the meeting in person.
