With just an Internet connection and a separate phone line, participants can take part in these
educational events from the convenience of their home or office. The virtual attendee simply logs onto
a special Web site and dials a toll-free number. PowerPoint slides are then viewed on a Web browser
while GITA presenters provide live audio commentary. A special interactive chat feature allows
participants to type in questions to the presenters and receive a personalized response.
