These Virtual Session Volunteers will have similar responsibilities to the volunteers from last years\u2019 sessions.<br>All sessions take the form of a Zoom call&nbsp;during which a pre-recorded presentation will be shared. As such, the Session Chair and their backups will be hosting the Zoom call and playing the pre-recorded videos. The presenters themselves will also be in attendance, but their focus will be on answering questions via chat as they arise during the presentation.
