Primarily we will communicate with presenters via the NRP email address (nrp@nps.edu). However, we will also send you messages through Whova that will come from the email address: event-noreply@whova.io. Some messages will also come from the NRP via whova.io. e.g. NPS NRP <nps_nrp_poc@nps.edu>; (NPS NRP via whova.io) .

Important - To ensure inbox delivery please add the following to your safe sender list "Never Block Senders Domain":

There is an internal message system in the platform allowing all attendees and presenters to message each other. If you would like to continue conversations outside the platform, you can share your email address directly with others. You can also add a “contact me” slide to the end of your presentation. For your protection, the NRP does not share email addresses of attendees or presenters, but they may choose to do so themselves.

Attendees will also be able to contact presenters via their individual session based Chat and/or Session Q&A.

Simulive is a combination of pre-recorded video content and live interaction (simulated+live = simulive). You record your video/presentation in advance of your broadcast date, while still getting to interact with your audience before/during/after your scheduled event. This allows you to provide a polished and timely session while not missing out on valuable Q&A time and ensures that you keep your audience engaged. Synchronous Q&A can occur as attendees join the session, during the session, and/or after the prerecorded video portion. Chat can continue asynchronously after the scheduled simulive session has ended. Also see: What is Simulive and Why is it Great?

Native Whova tools will be used to deliver the synchronous simulive session and to engage with participants via native chat. 

• A link to the prerecorded video, hosted on the NRP YouTube Channel (NRP-YTC), will embed the video in Whova for seamless viewing by authorized event registered attendees. All content uploaded to the NRP-YTC will be “unlisted” and only available to those that have the link (we will make the content available for public viewing at the presenter’s request). 
• All session communication will remain in Whova. During the synchronous session, the presenter/moderator will interact in real-time with session attendees using the in-app Whova Chat feature (text only, no audio).
• Presenters may also choose to use the Whova in-app live polling feature. Live polling is a fun way to make events more interactive. 
• On-demand video viewing and Whova chat communication can continue asynchronously in Whova after the scheduled simulive session ends. 

ZoomGov will be used to deliver the simulive session and to engage with participants via chat and/or audio/video. 

• A link to the ZoomGov meeting will be provided to NRWG attendees via Whova. Attendees will leave the Whova event environment to join the ZoomGov meeting. A meeting specific password will be required to access the ZoomGov meeting.
• During the simulive session, the prerecorded video will be played while presenters/moderators interact in real-time with session attendees using the native ZoomGov chat feature. Synchronous Q&A audio/video chat can occur as attendees join the session, during the session, and/or after the prerecorded video portion. 
  • Note: It will be important to remind attendees to use the ZoomGov meeting tools for communication during the simulive event, rather than the in-app Whova session chat. 
• Session will be recorded (by the presenter), to include the pre-recorded video and all chat and/or audio/video discussion and made available (by the NRWG Organizers) for on-demand video viewing.
• Once the simulive session has ended, the ZoomGov meeting recording will be uploaded to the NRP-YTC. All content uploaded to the NRP-YTC will be “unlisted” and only available to those that have the link (we will make the content available for public viewing at the presenter’s request). A link to the NRP-YTC hosted recording of the simulive session will then be added to the session listing in Whova for on demand viewing.
• On-demand video viewing, Whova chat communication and polling can continue asynchronously in Whova after the scheduled simulive session ends.

This option is similar to the  simulive ZoomGov/NRP-YTC option above, with one notable exception; once the simulive session has ended, a recording of the live session will not be made available for on-demand video viewing via Whova. 

Session chat communication and polling can continue asynchronously in Whova after the scheduled simulive session ends. 

This option is similar to the simulive option 2– ZoomGov/NRP-YTC option, with one notable exception; the synchronous presentation will be entirely live. A completely live session will require additional real-time presentation and time management. The panel moderator will need to coordinate and mange all aspects of the session flow, in real-time during the meeting such as individual speaker timing and transition between speakers, Q/A (audio and/or chat). 

Session chat communication and polling can continue asynchronously in Whova after the scheduled simulive session ends. 

An embed link to your prerecorded video presentation, hosted on the NRP-YTC, will display your video in the Whova application for seamless viewing by authorized event registered attendees. All content uploaded to the NRP-YTC will be “unlisted” and only available to those that have the link (we will make the content available for public viewing at the presenter’s request).

• Presenters may also choose to use the in-app Whova polling feature to schedule a poll. Polling is a fun way to make events more interactive. 
• On-demand video viewing and Whova chat communication can occur asynchronously in Whova during NRWG 22. 

Your briefing materials will be made available for download via your Whova session in PDF format.
