NVNR ON ZOOM
NVNR is hosted on the Zoom platform. Each event in the schedule has been assigned a Zoom Channel: Z1M, Z1W, Z2M. All attendees have been pre-registered for events. Sign in to the Attendee Hub to see your personal, unique zoom links to each channel. They will go live on Sunday:
If you lose or forget your zoom links you can click the “join” button on any event in the schedule. You will be taken to a registration page where you can enter your email address. You will then be recognized by Zoom and allowed into the event if it is open.
NEED HELP FAST? NEW EASY SUPPORT BUTTONS
Look for the purple and red buttons that appear on the NVNR site. The purple "contact" button will give you a way to directly contact any of the NVNR Staff.
The red "support" button will submit a fast support ticket. Those will be monitored as long as NVNR is running, and are monitored during business hours between NVNR events. It is the fastest way to get an answer to urgent questions.
