Throughout the three-day Gathering we encourage attendees to connect and share their questions and experiences in a variety of different ways: 

1. Join in sessions! We love to see attendees engaging in our sessions throughout the day. Whether you’re using the chat to introduce yourself and say hi to other participants or sending a question to our panelists using the Q&A feature, we are hope you’ll use this time together to make new connections and get answers to your questions. **If we do not address your question during the session we will follow-up with presenters afterwards to get you a response. 

2. Participate in our Small-Group Discussions taking place on Friday. These small-group discussions will be held in the "Community" tab using the "Discussions" feature creating an opportunity for participants to see and hear from one another.  They offer an opportunity for individuals to share their FOP experiences with other members of the community. Please note, that there are no designated moderators for small-group discussions. The "Discussion" sessions (pictured below) each have a limit of 6 participants. However, once the maximum participant spots have been filled a new Discussion session for that group will open automatically.  

Once you’ve selected your respective discussion you will need to click “Join” and then “Next” and after turning on your microphone and video “Join” again. 

3. Join in the Community Social Event (Team Trivia) or Self-Care Event (Laughing Lovebugs Yoga Session) taking place on Friday and Saturday 

Once you’ve selected a community chat you will need to click “Join” and then “Next” and after turning on your microphone and video “Join” again. 

4. Share your Virtual Family Gathering experiences on social media. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #2023FOPGathering.
