Context
The National Academy of Psychology (NAOP) is a national organisation of professional psychologists in India. For their 31st annual convention, NAOP was on the lookout for virtual platforms to host the conference.
Acknowledging the limitations of Zoom webinars, IIT-Bombay’s Psychophysiology department reached out to AfD to help conceptualise and setup the event in a virtual environment and onboard over 300 students and faculty across India during the course of the event.

Ending notes
A high-profile, state-run academic institution in India choosing to host a conference on a virtual environment came with its own challenges like administrative approvals and onboarding participants of all ages (students and professors).
We are deeply grateful to the Psychophysiology Laboratory at IIT-Bombay for trusting us with hosting the conference virtually. Special shoutouts to Professor Azizuddin Khan and Yash Vardhan.
A custom onboarding guide and test-runs before the event made the conference easy and enjoyable for all participants.
