+### The Chat
 
-[The Chat]{.underline}
+R/Medicine has a strong tradition of **active** discussion in a virtual chat **during** virtual presentations, and this discussion is much better if the presenter or a co-presenter is **active** in the chat, sharing relevant links and answering questions during the presentation. If you have relevant links in your presentation, put them in a document ahead of time so that you can easily drop them into the chat when appropriate. If you have a co-presenter, decide who will present and who will chat (or take turns at a natural switching point).

If you are planning to be a solo presenter for a talk on Thursday or Friday, plan to prerecord your talk to submit by June 3, and to attend (virtually) in person to actively participate in the chat.

 **Avoid** sales or marketing pitches and discussion of unlicensed or potentially closed-source technologies in your proposal. Talks of this nature are almost always rejected because they diminish the integrity of our events and are rarely well-received by conference attendees.
