–           via the ‘raise hand’ function.

If a question is asked by using the ‘raise hand’ function, the panellist will ‘unmute’ the participant to invite them to ask their question. The panellist may also choose to do the same in the case of a question submitted via the Q&A function.

The Panellist may specify which of the above functionalities they may prefer participants to use to ask a question.

TECHNICAL PROBLEMS DURING A WEBINAR

In the event that a participant experiences a technical problem during an MIT Webinar which prevents them from participating, they are to report this immediately to the MIT on mit@maintax.org. Participants who fail to report the technical problem shall not be entitled to a refund of the webinar fee. See below for the Refunds Policy.

If not successful,  kindly email: mit@maintax.org and you will be provided with a new link.

Where the technical issue on the part of the webinar host is caused by circumstances beyond our control, such as in the case of a power cut, the MIT will contact the participants to as soon as possible. In such case, the MIT may consider rescheduling the session for another time.
