ATTENDING THE 2024 ONLINE CONFERENCE

How will the online conference be held?

The 2024 Online Fall Conference will be 100% virtual, meaning all parts will be broadcast on the internet using software to allow for interactivity and participation.


What is Zoom?

Zoom is an application that allows groups to facilitate online gatherings.  It includes the ability for displaying video feeds of the participants, as well as screen sharing and other tools to allow for an interactive experience.

You will need a computer or mobile device with sound.  For interactive portions of the conference, you will need to have a working microphone and web camera (already on most laptops and mobile devices.)


How will I access Zoom after I’ve paid?

After completing your registration, you will receive a receipt of your purchase.  24-48 hours before the start of the conference, you will begin to receive a series of emails with access links to your sessions.  FREE session links will be sent out first and then each day, links for the following day sessions will be sent.

All events and sessions are 100% virtual. No in-person events will be held for Unity Eastern Region through the end of 2024.

After the completion of the conference, the Eastern Region will be making some sessions available for purchase online.

Health & Safety Protocols for COVID-19

At this time, we recommends attendees take the following measures when possible to
protect against the transmission of COVID-19:

  • Wearing a facemask during conference events is optional based on your comfort level. We will have facemasks available in Conference meeting rooms throughout the week;
  • Frequent hand washing and sanitizing is recommended, and we will have hand sanitizer available at check in and in Conference meeting rooms throughout the week;
  • At conference check-in, you will have the option to add a color-coded dot to your name tag to signify your comfort level with physical contact: Green=No restrictions; Yellow=Ask in advance; Red= No physical contact

Stay Home If Sick:

If you are experiencing any of the following, we ask that you stay home:

  • COVID-19 symptoms as defined by the CDC https://www.cdc.gov/covid/index.html
  • A COVID-19 test result pending
  • You have tested positive for COVID-19 within 5 days of travel to the Hershey. If you are arriving after a 5-day isolation period, you are requested to wear a mask for an additional 5 days while at the Hershey.

At this time, in line with the Hershey, we will not require proof of vaccination or a negative test to attend the Conference. The above guidelines are strongly recommended for the health and safety of all attendees.


CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS (CEUs)

CEUs Are Being Handled Differently by UWM

UWM no longer pre-certifies CEUs for Ministers and LUTs.

The UWM Eastern Region has designed and is offering sessions which we believe are CEU worthy and in relevant areas such as inclusivity, ethics, ministry operations, methods of teaching and self-care practices. Ministers and LUTs are required to track and document their potential CEUs and submit them yearly with their annual report. Please maintain copies of all registration confirmations and payment receipts for your records.
