H2E Teleconferences: What to Expect
Experts for each call develop a presentation that is posted on the H2E website prior to the call. Participants should download the presentations prior to the call.
In addition to the presentations, other relevant materials may be available on the H2E website before the scheduled call, including the call agenda and a list of related resources available on the H2E website.
The presentations start promptly at 1:00 and typically last an hour or an hour and a half, dependent upon the topic. As the speaker proceeds through the presentation, you will be directed to the "next slide" and everyone follows along in the PowerPoint presentation. Ten minutes will be reserved at the end of each call for questions and answers. Further conversations can always be continued on the H2E listserv.

I just want to tell all H2E listserv members...if you have never participated in one of the teleconferences....today was my first and it was really well done. It was not only a really well done presentation and useful...the ease of use for a first time teleconferencer was very easy.
Kudos to everyone who put the show on today.
If you have not availed yourself of it yet, please give it a try.
