What to Expect at the Remote Symposium
Updated 24th June 2022
We set out here what you are to expect from the meeting. Authors have provided papers for the proceedings in the normal way but they will also provide their presentations in advance. These will be played in the appropriate session following which they will be available (only to delegates) to view but not to download for about 14 days. We hope authors will be present at their session to answer questions in the discussion period in each session. The discussion period will not just be Q&A but will be a comprehensive discussion of the subject of the session.
The Symposium will be run from this website where there is a delegates area, which is now open, containing links to the sessions and other material. Most of the live sessions will be run on the Zoom Webinar platform which is slightly different from Zoom meetings. In webinar, chair persons and authors will be assigned panellist status and will be visible to everyone but other delegates will not be generally visible. However, if you are keen to contribute to any particular discussion then please let us know and, subject to the Session Chairs' approval, we will invite you to be a panellist. The first Welcome session on Monday morning, Panel 1 and the two conversations will be run on the Zoom Meeting platform. In this case everyone will be potentially visible and will be able to take part.
You will be able to enter a session 10 minutes before the advertised start time. If the link does not work - refresh the page. The length of each structured session will vary. There will then be an introduction by the session chairs followed by the presentations which will be shorter than normal, generally about 12 minutes. At the end of the group of presentations there will be a discussion of the papers and more particularly of the subject or subjects surrounding them. The discussion periods, lasting up to one hour, will be the backbone of the Symposium where remote authors and other delegates have as much chance to contribute as possible.
The two "conversations" at 1715 on Monday and 1700 on Tuesday will be open forums in which any topic on the subject of noise from drones can be discussed including what has changed in the 1.5 years since QD2020 and the progress which has been made in quantification of drone noise both ‘at source’ and at the receiver and potential ways in which both can be regulated. Come to conversation 1 and decide what the key issues are that need to be discussed further in Conversation 2.
If there are any catastrophic problems with the meeting we will contact delegates by email.
If you have any problems please contact us via the contacts page.
