Will the different time zones be a problem in order to follow the full event?
We have organised the event in a way that participants coming from different time zones can have access to as much contents as possible in live. Opening hours of FIRA will be adapted and wide enough to allow people to watch the contents wherever they stand in the world. If it is not the case, they will be able to watch the different conferences and all the resources on demand. Furthermore, if an exhibitor or a participant is missing, you will be able to leave him a message in order to set up a business meeting within the 3 days of the event.
How will I be able to interact with the speakers and the participants?
You will be able to submit questions in the text chat during conferences. They will be collected and given to the speaker.
You will have access to the list of participants and click on their profile to speak to them in a one-to-one conversation chat, or in a group discussion.
Furthermore, the “networking lounge” will be the dedicated room of the FIRA for chatting with fellow participants. You will be able to start group conversations, share your e-business card or even engage in private discussions.
Can I book meeting sessions with an exhibitor?
Yes, you can pre-set one to one conversation with an exhibitor by going to his booth. If the rep. you want to talk with is already in a conversation, it will be possible for you to book a meeting time slot.
Can I talk in my own language?
Yes, you have a live language translation on the chat. Moreover, on attendees profile, you will find the country so it will be possible to find compatriots!
How does the business lounge work?
In the business lounge, it is possible to get in touch with our partners or fellow participants, start group discussions on various subjects, exchange business cards, and… have a virtual coffee!
I am not available on one of the three days of the event, what are my options?
Conferences and content will be available on demand during the 3 days and until July 2021.
How can I upload documents in my virtual briefcase ?
Your virtual briefcase allows you to store many documents (pdf, images, videos…) that are available on the platform. Once a document is saved in your briefcase, you will be able to download it, send it through an email or even share it social media, so that you can access it after the event.
I am experiencing technical issues during the event, what should I do?
If you are already on FIRA virutal platform: you should go to the Help Desk and test your connection. Before the event, you will receive our tips for a good virtual experience.
If you can not enter the FIRA virtual platform: please contact us.
After the conference, when will the sessions be available on-demand?
Right after the event.
Do I need a web cam?
Yes if you want to engage video conversation with our partners on their booth. But if you are only using chat conversation, it will not be needed.
Do I need anything special to participate to the FIRA? What are the technology requirements for accessing the conference using a personal computer?
The only equipment you need is a computer connected to the internet, no software or specific technology is required. The platform is cross-device compatible and does not need you to adapt your equipment.
To get the best virtual experience, we recommend connecting to the internet using a network cable. It will be better than a wireless network.
Here is the best setup possible:
- Google Chrome offers the best navigation experience.
- Minimum monitor resolution: 1024×768
- Network configuration required: 1,4mbps minimum.
- You will be able to assess your equipment right on the platform.
Will this replace the physical FIRA in the future?
No, it is a pleasure to welcome you in a physical version! It is also important to see robots in a real expo zone. But from the beginning, all our conferences are broadcast live so in the future, we will keep a hybrid version, virtual and physical, to reach a largest audience and gather the most agricultural robotics friends!
