How does this Conference work?

AAANZ22 has been organised as an online-first event. All Panels at AAANZ22 will be taking place online, as Zoom Meetings.

The Welcome to Country and two keynotes by Erika Wolf (2 December, 6.30-8.30pm) and Richard Bell (3 December, 5-6.30pm) will be dual delivered (in-person and online). If you happen to be in Melbourne, you may attend these events in-person and any additional affiliate in-person events. Please check back on here regularly for details.

The Zoom Meetings for panel sessions will be set up and hosted by our team of Online Conference Hosts, who will be present during the Panels to offer technical support. If you are having technical difficulties during a panel, please send a message to the Host via Zoom’s chat function.

Affiliate events may be held in other cities where AAANZ members are active. For more information, please check the respective keynote pages and our Announcements.

How do I access a Panel?

The Meetings will be protected by a password, which will be provided to all registrants 48 hours prior to the Conference start. If you know someone wishing to attend the conference who has not registered, they should do so online before 29 November, 2 days before the conference here.

We will be adding these recordings to the Panel pages, where they will remain for 3 months. The recordings will be passcode protected and only be available to those who have registered for the Conference.

Once the recordings are ready, we will send Conference registrants an email with the access passcode. Please keep an eye on your spam folders in case the email lands there.

When I click on a panel, it asks me to login to my Zoom account?

You will need to enter your personal Zoom account username, and password.  (If you’re not sure what this is, you may need to reset your password, or check with the institution supplying your Zoom account).
