1. We will ensure that our online moderator has reliable internet connectivity to support seamless communication between the onsite participants and online attendees. To enable interaction, we will use zoom that allow online participants to join the session in real-time and engage with the onsite speakers and attendees and this platform has inbuilt features that allow for Q&A and raising of hands to allow for input
2. Due to limited time, we will prepare speakers to keep discussions brief to ensure that all participants have the chance to contribute their perspectives.
3. Social media use. We will ensure that we are live on at least 2 social media platforms to enhance participation to those who do not have access to Zoom as an app
