Asking questions

• Each room has dedicated microphones to ask questions. Microphones serve 2 purposes – it ensures:
  1. we record your question clearly; and
  2. people watching on the internet can hear your question.
• Microphone Etiquette
  • Please make sure you speak into the microphone.
  • What’s a good indicator that you are close enough? If you can see the microphone head while speaking into it, you are too far from it.
  • If you are standing too close, we will run a risk of having an audio feedback loop (annoying high pitched sound through the speakers).
• If you have trouble handling the microphones, please ask the in-room volunteers for assistance.
