Where do I watch CMEpalooza Fall? You watch it on the LIVE page.
Do I have to refresh the page to watch new sessions? That is super annoying. No, you do not have to refresh the LIVE page to watch new sessions. Every session has a unique link, so just find the session you want to watch at the appropriate time and click that link to begin. Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy.
Will people be able to hear me on the broadcast? No. You are not on the broadcast. You are only watching a video feed of the broadcast. You can sing I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys at full volume (tell me why) and no one will hear you except your neighbors, who might call the police, who might interrupt you while watching CMEpalooza. So, don’t sing I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys at full volume (tell me why) while watching CMEpalooza.
Can I watch CMEpalooza at home? Yes.
Can I watch CMEpalooza at the office? Sure.
Can I watch CMEpalooza in a conference room with 150 other people? Absolutely, if that’s what you want to do. I mean, that’s not really my cup of tea, so I’m probably the wrong person to ask. But don’t let me stop you.
Can I watch CMEpalooza with Taylor Swift? I don’t know. Let’s ask her. 
I guess not. Also, Travis Kelce might not approve.
Do I have to pre-register or register? Nope.
Do I have to pay anything to watch CMEpalooza? I love paying registration fees.
No. You don’t have to pay anything to watch CMEpalooza.
Do I have to take a survey afterward? Well, you don’t have to, but it would be nice if you did. It’s only a couple questions and shouldn’t take you more than 60 seconds. If it takes you more than 60 seconds, Scott will come to your house and sing Taylor Swift’s Love Story for you and a group of friends.
Can I get a certificate for watching CMEpalooza? Actually, yes. Well, kind of. We’re not accredited or certified or anything like that, and we have no way of verifying whether you actually watched any of these sessions or not. But if you want a certificate of completion that you can use to self-report participation in CMEpalooza Fall 2023, here you go. We’ll also post it on the LIVE page. Who knows, maybe these certificates will be worth something 200 years from now.
How do I ask questions of the presenters? There are two ways you can ask questions:
We try to get to as many questions as we can throughout each presentation.
Do I have to watch all the sessions? YES! No. Watch what interests you.
Will the sound quality for each presenter be crystal clear with consistent volume and no glitches? I mean, really, have you been on, I don’t know, 500 web calls in the last month? Is it always perfect for everyone? Of course not. That said, we’re better with this technology stuff than the average bear – we HAVE been doing this for 10 years now so hopefully we’ve learned something. So will it be pretty good for almost every presenter? Yes, yes it will. There will be some people who sound better than others. There may be a few glitches and hiccups. That’s just how it goes with a free conference where presenters volunteer their time and use their own equipment. Some people aren’t comfortable doing a presentation while wearing headphones and a mic, so we don’t force them to use it. We do the best that we can with what we have available to us.
Will I be offended by anything during CMEpalooza? I doubt it, but who knows? If you are, please email Scott and tell him all about it in extensive detail.
Do you have anything fun I can do during CMEpalooza if I get bored? First of all, how dare you. Second, yes! We will have another round of CMEpalooza Scavenger Hunt all ready for you. On the day of CMEpalooza go to the website of this special promotion’s sponsor, Skin, Bones, Hearts, and Private Parts, and look for the CMEpalooza logo. Click on it and see what happens!
What if I’m busy during the day of the live broadcast? All the sessions will be archived on the website, like, immediately. How are we able to do it so fast? We have a new intern who is a real crackerjack on the interwebs. Here she is celebrating the completion of our latest blog post.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our third CMEpalooza STEPtacular Challenge! We had a great response and our most participants ever.
Of course, a very special thank you to Talem Health for sponsoring the event and providing the T-shirts. All of you who didn’t participate are going to be very jealous of how awesome the rest of us look.
And now…on to the winners!
Winners of the $50 Amazon gift card drawing (one entry for each daily screenshot showing over 10,000 steps)
Winner of $250 Amazon gift card for most steps in one day
Riaz Baxamusa with a truly ridiculous 53,200 steps! I don’t know exactly how many miles that translates to but I think Riaz must have walked from Chicago to Philly and back again.
Congratulations to all!
