Unlike most IDIA conferences, RMC will take place through our virtual conference portal. The system is based on Zoom and will make use of Zoom’s breakout rooms feature to enable students to participate in moderated and unmoderated caucus discussions, just like an in-person conference.
All participants will need a free Zoom account and high-speed internet access to participate. Delegates should test their Zoom setup prior to the conference to ensure it is working properly.
After registering for RMC, advisors will be provided with information regarding how delegates can log in to their committee room.
The conference schedule will be posted here shortly.
While the conference begins on Friday, April 9th, it will not start until the late afternoon to ensure that it does not coincide with school hours.
As an IDIA-sponsored conference, IDIA adheres to a uniform set of rules governing participant conduct, debate style, and awards. Additionally, IDIA has adopted special protocols for this online conference. Note that all usual conduct policies remain in effect, where applicable. Please see detailed policy documents below, and email info@idia.net with any questions.
RMC costs $30 per student. An invoice will be generated and emailed to you once you complete pre-registration and final registration for the conference on idia.net. There will be no refunds after March 19, 2021, should you need to drop numbers or cancel.
All payments can be mailed to PO Box 387, New Brunswick, NJ 08903.
