Drop-In Supports
What are drop-in supports?
DROP-IN SUPPORTS are where you can ask additional questions one-on-one with HTSB, HIDOE, HSTA and other supporting agencies, as well as some of the SATEPs that offer additional advising support on the day of the event.
Hosts of each room will take questions on a first-come first-served basis (sort of like tables at a fair that you can just drop in and see if someone is available to answer your questions).
To learn more about the organization and what types of questions they can answer, click on the drop-down arrow on the right of the name to view details and contact info.
You can drop in anytime within the window that they are available, possibly during the 15-minute break between the SATEP sessions, or when you're not attending any SATEP session. Click "ENTER" to go into their Zoom room (we also include the Meeting ID and Passcode where applicable).
