After weeks of preparation, training, and support, we know that there will be unforeseen issues that are outside of anyone’s control. No matter how much we train and prepare, we must plan for the unexpected.

The JUNO and Client teams work together to communicate and resolve these unexpected issues during a live event. This guide outlines an issue escalation process so everyone knows what to do and who to contact next.

Overview of team responsibilities

The Client team is the first line of defense

After extensive training during the planning process, the Client team is the first line of defense for any questions that come up during the event. Users might ask questions through:

  • The Help chat, such as Smartloop or alternative software. (For all users.)

  • The Mod chat in sessions. (Only for speakers and moderators.)

If you can’t answer a question, contact the JUNO response team by sending a message in the Slack channel.

The JUNO response team supports the Client team

The JUNO Client Success team responds to issues raised by the Client team in the Slack channel. They can escalate issues to the JUNO Tech Support team. For example, Tech Support might help with a speaker’s microphone or camera issue.
