The conference will be structured to allow live presentations among different time zones. Recording of presentations are additionally being requested to be posted on the wiki to ensure their availability to any timezone.

Posters

All posters will be electronic and linked to this wiki page. We are requesting that poster presenters provide a recorded description with their poster presentation. We hope to incorporate a live component this year. Details to be decided.

Oral Presentations

Each oral presentation will be presented live. Pre-recorded presentations are posted on the wiki page. In the live sessions an additional 5 minutes will be given for questions.
It is best to open all links to pre-recorded presentations and posters in a new tab. The easiest way to do this is to hold COMMAND (Mac) or Control (Windows) while simultaneously clicking the link. Click here to view last year’s agenda for example presentations

Conference Abstracts

Submitted abstracts will be posted here.

Zoom Information

• Make sure you have upgraded your Zoom client.
• We suggest the desktop client or mobile app, which use less bandwidth than Zoom in your browser. See Zoom help for more: https://bit.ly/2RM0rzQ.
• Please use the Q&A feature if you have questions for the presenters. The chat function will only be used for discussion
• When joining a session from the wiki, a quick “registration” will let you into the session. Please just “register” for the Zoom webinar sessions that you’re interested in attending.
• After you submit your name and email (in an effort to reduce bot/Zoombomber discovery), you’ll be taken directly to the webinar.
• Up to 4 presentations are scheduled in each concurrent session “room,” so you won’t need to switch “rooms” if you’re hoping to join presentations by people in the same session (e.g. Concurrent Session 6), but you’ll need to switch to a different Zoom “room” if you want to jump from Concurrent Session 6 over to Discussion Session 5.
