IVC: Who Will Use IVC Tech And What They Should Know

IVC is a big topic and there will be much information about it in the knowledge base. It's true there is a lot of technology involved in IVC meetings, but for most of us we only need to understand a few basic, intuitive features to benefit from IVC. We want to be sure everyone gets the knowledge that will be important to them without being discouraged by the information that won't relate to their role. Thus this table:
