Accessing Elevating Cougs sessions on the Zoom Events platform

Elevating Cougs is a fully remote, two-day conference experience offered by Modernization and HRS’ Learning and Organizational Development. WSU employees can choose from more than 80 sessions available on the conference’s Zoom events platform. Below is an introduction to using the Zoom events platform to access and attend sessions.

There are two different ways to search through the 80-plus conference sessions and decide which ones users would like to attend.

Registered attendees will receive a link to the WSU Zoom events platform for the conference via email. After accessing the platform, they may select the Join the Lobby button to view the main landing area for the conference. Here users can see the list of speakers and featured sessions, and navigate to the session list and user’s itinerary. Select sessions will be livestreamed to the lobby throughout the conference.

To review the list of sessions, select the Sessions option from the main navigation at the top of the page. Attendees can use the search bar near the top left of the Sessions page, next to the filter button, or filter the list of sessions to find the ones users are interested in.

To filter the sessions, select the Filter button. Users can choose from the date, track, audience, or category to narrow the list of sessions to review. They can also hide sessions that have ended from the list.

For example, to view sessions on soft skills and personal development, select Developing as a Coug from the list of tracks. To find Workday Finance sessions, choose Workday Finance from the list of Workday categories in the Audiences section.

To close the Filter menu, select the Close button.

To bookmark a session, select the bookmark icon on the far right of the session listing.

Bookmarked sessions appear on the Itinerary page, which is a calendar view of the attendee’s chosen sessions, and under the Bookmarked Sessions filter on the Session page.

To view the session and speaker details, select the session title and review the session description. Where available, some session descriptions include links to download helpful materials ahead of the session.
