To make sure both attendees and representatives get the most out of the virtual information & networking evening, it is important that everyone understands the ground rules for video rooms.
For small groups
- For small groups (i.e. 3 attendees), the conversation flows as it would at a face-to-face event.
- Attendees can ask questions of representatives about Baker McKenzie and their practice group.
- Representatives can answer questions as they come.
For large groups
- For large groups (i.e. 4 or more attendees), the discussion is moderated by the Baker McKenzie Buddy Host, by selecting attendees who are using the 'raise hand' function in Zoom and/or selecting questions from a list submitted in the video chat log.
- When a question is selected from the list in the chat log, the Baker McKenzie Buddy Host can ask the attendee to repeat the question before a Baker McKenzie person responds.
- The Buddy Host may also elect to create breakout rooms that you will be able to move between. Make sure you take note of which partners or representatives are in each booth so you can speak with those you may have questions for.
Room control
- All participants will be muted by default, to reduce background noise.
- The Baker McKenzie Buddy Host has control of the Zoom booth and can ask people to leave or eject them if they are being disruptive.
- Please be respectful of representatives and other attendees throughout the evening.
