Conference Call Etiquette

A few tips to make your audio conference experience a good one:

·  Be on time – audio conferences will begin promptly; we cannot wait for latecomers.

·  Review presentation materials prior to the audio conference.

·  Choose a quiet space in which to participate in the conference call. If in a group setting, please refrain from side conversations, typing on keyboards, etc. The conference call will be recorded and background noise will interfere with the quality of the recording.

·  Before you begin the call, place your telephone on ‘Do Not Disturb’; call waiting beeps will interrupt your connection to the call. For those using home phones, quite often the call waiting function can be temporarily suspended prior to a call. Check with your local telephone service provider.

·  When entering the call, please DO NOT announce yourself. You should hear silence when you enter the call. The presentation will begin promptly at 12 noon Central time.

·  While you are not speaking, please use the ‘MUTE’ button. If you do not have a mute button you’re your phone, once in the audio conference, please press *6 to turn on MUTE and #6 to turn off MUTE.

·  Never place your telephone on ‘HOLD’. If you do this during a call, everyone on the call will hear your institutions hold music.

·  We encourage participation, but please wait for the appropriate portion of the audio conference to share your thoughts. Please keep your observations/questions short so that other participants may also comment. When sharing, please begin by identifying yourself.
