2011 Field Crop Dealer Meeting Sites


Advantages to New Format

The number of sites that participants can attend

the meeting has almost doubled.

Participants will have an opportunity to hear

questions/comments from participants at the

other sites.

Potential Disadvantages to New Format

Participants feel disconnected from speaker

because not face to face.

Technical difficulties.

Adobe Disconnected: Ideas to Help

Participants Feel Involved

Photos of speakers will be shown in title slides.

Each site will be given the opportunity to ask

questions during the discussion/question

session.

This will be conducted in an orderly manner

going from site to site.

The Backup Plan

Audio will be broadcast via conference

call and speaker phone

Presentations will be sent to the host

sites prior to the meeting day (drop box

or CD)

If Adobe Connect fails (which it won’t!),

host sites can present PowerPoint

presentations with audio from live

meeting via speaker phone
