You can participate in this conference at your desk.  You have three options:

2. Listen to the audio portion on the telephone and view the slides on your computer (this requires an internet connection separate from your phone line).
3. Print out speaker slides (they will be available 1-2 days before the event) and listen to the audio portion on the telephone.
