My ham radio organization sponsors an annual conference that usually attracts 100 to 125 attendees. This year, Charlotte, North Carolina was the site for the conference, but we cancelled it due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Instead, we did the conference online using Zoom Webinar. The conference was on Friday and Saturday and was very successful attracting nearly 300 attendees and generating kudos galore. But it involved a lot of hard work.
When we do an in-person conference, we hire a hotel as the venue and they do a lot of the heavy-lifting. In our do-it-yourself online conference, “we” had to do all the heavy-lifting, “we” being the ten officers and directors of the organization.
I spent Thursday through Sunday creating email and webpage announcements concerning the conference and Saturday, I was a moderator for the conference presentations. Needless to say, I had little time to devote to this blog except to moderate any comments that you all posted.
By the way, I presented as a woman from head to toe throughout the conference despite the fact that I was only visible online from the chest and up.
It was a long weekend and after doing some post-conference work Sunday morning, I crashed in front of the television watching the Patriots and old movies! But I'm back today and so it goes.

Any chance of seeing what you wore for the online conference?
ReplyDeleteI wore the blue peplum dress as seen in the photo at the top left corner of this webpage.
DeleteIf you present as a woman, YOU PRESENT AS A WOMAN! If you only look like a woman within camera shot you're "dressing up" in women's clothing and fooling the people who are watching. Be the person you are, not just some of the parts. Stana was truly a woman participating in her conference, not a semblance. When you're all of yourself it shows.
