We know that attending an online conference can be a strange experience, so we’ve put together some guidelines, along with some hints and tips. Please contact us if you have any issues, feel unsure, or have any suggestions for things we could be doing better at any point during the conference. One of us will always be on hand to answer DMs via twitter or you can contact us via email (AMPAHistory@gmail.com).
