Dear Mutombo Kankonde,

Please add emails ending in @tedmed.com to your “safe senders” list to ensure you receive important messages about your TEDMED Live event.
In addition, it is important that you review and adhere to the TEDMED Live Guidelines.  These guidelines are new to 2014, so even if you have participated in TEDMED Live before, it is important to be aware of these guidelines.
We are conducting two live streaming tests to simulate the real-time video feed exactly as it will be delivered to you during the days of the event. Please make sure to mark your calendars and participate in both mandatory tests so that you are confident that your connection will run smoothly when we go live.

 (24 hours to access)

TEST #2:
 Tuesday, September 9, 9-11 AM and 4-6 PM, EST. 
(Two 2-hour options)

For the tests, all you will need to do is go to www.tedmedlive.org from the device and location you will be holding your gathering and login using your Affiliate ID Code.
