Bulletin to ThinkTech Hosts - Week of February 20, 2022

Dear ThinkTech Hosts:

Host Bulletin, Week of February 20, 2022

Zoom

Help us help you.  Please familiarize yourself with Zoom, its features and updates. Review this tutorial:

If you need help with setup and troubleshooting, our engineers can assist you.

You can read https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362623-Changing-settings-in-the-desktop-client-mobile-app for detailed descriptions. Virtual backgrounds without the use of a green screen are unacceptable. The one exception is the use of Blur, which we highly recommend.

Intros

Introduce each of your guests at the beginning of the show, regardless of their status or frequency, in case there are new or unfamiliar viewers. But please keep it short and to the point. See the script suggestion for intros on our website:

Welcome to [NAME OF SHOW] on the ThinkTech Live Streaming Network Series, broadcasting from our downtown studio at Finance Factors Center at the core of Downtown Honolulu.

I’m your host [NAME OF HOST].

Joining me today are [NAMES AND AFFILIATIONS OF GUESTS].

The title of today's episode is [TITLE OF EPISODE].

Host Bios

Have you seen the hosts page on our website? https://thinktechhawaii.com/thinktech-hosts/ It’s very impressive. But some hosts are still missing. Please send your picture and 100 word bio as soon as possible to shows@thinktechhawaii.com. Not only is it a great resource for guests and viewers to learn more about you as host, we also use it to promote you if selected as Host of the Week.

Distinguished Guests

Starting in March, and every month thereafter, hosts will be able to nominate one of their guests from the preceding month to be named a ThinkTech Hawaii “Distinguished Guest.” We will send each host a link to make that nomination. The slate of candidates will be the first ten nominations made.  We will include a ballot in our Email Advisories so people can vote their choice from that slate.  Voting will continue for one week.  The guest receiving the most votes will then be announced in our ThinkTech Daily and all our other platforms. We will also make a short video showcasing the winner for our entr’acte, overnight and social media platforms.  This will be a great way to celebrate our guests.

Promotion Tip

After your show, text and email the YouTube and Vimeo links to your network - family, friends, coworkers, colleagues, and anyone else who would be interested. We made a template for you to use: https://thinktechhosts.blogspot.com/p/email-template-for-sharing-links.html
