  3. Fill out the meeting information as below (see screenshot below):

    • Topic: Use your team name followed by DM CRP Symposium (ex. Merck – DM CRP Symposium)

    • When: Wednesday, April 20, 2022. Select start time to be 2:00 PM ET so it is ready to start the Zoom room early. The Symposium will officially start at 2:30 PM ET.

    • Duration: Select 3 hours (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM ET to allow flexibility even though it should last from 2:30-4:30 PM).

    • Meeting ID: Select “Generate Automatically” to add additional layer of security. Do not select personal meeting room.

    • Security: Enable the passcode.

    • Meeting Options: Allow participants to join before start time. Also select “mute participants upon entry” since people will be joining at any time between 2:30-4:30 PM so we don’t want them to interrupt the conversation.

    • Alternative Hosts: Add a student on your team as a secondary host option in case of technical difficulties on the day of the symposium. Enter their email to add them as a secondary host.
