| Attention all Medicare University 2009 Virtual Convention Attendees The Medicare University 2009 Virtual Convention is well underway and we are pleased to have a good number of participants for each course! Below are a few topics from common questions we are receiving related to the virtual convention.Audio Issues Audio will be through your computer speakers and begins at the session start time. If you are having trouble hearing the audio, make sure your computer volume is not muted and is turned up. If your computer does not have speakers, check to see if it has a headset plug-in. In many cases, computers have audio capabilities and just do not have speakers. Note: Using the built-in speakers works well but the optimum experience is created when using headphones.For additional technical assistance go to www.NGSMedicareConvention.com/tech.html.Asking Questions During a Course Questions can be asked during the entire course's scheduled time.
