MEETING AGENDA – Virtual meeting link to view the agenda
This agenda provides the basic meeting structure. The final content and active presentations will open and be visible to registered meeting participants beginning December 6.

Don’t forget to register for the meeting using your presenter Promo Code – this is different than presenter access key for editing your presentation content!

When logging in on the virtual site to edit your presenter profile, it is recommended you use Chrome or Mozilla browser, NOT Internet Explorer

All Presenters must register for the meeting, using the Speaker or Poster Presenter log in code provided with the registration link in September, for their presentation to be active during the virtual event. If presenters have not registered, their content will not be activated and available to visitors on the meeting site.

LECTURES

Copy of acceptance letter to Lecture Presenters – updated September 10

Time length of your presentation: 60 minute minimum is requested for lectures, however, not required. Panels may run up to 2 hours max.

Slide Requirements – Information that must be included in every slide deck. You may copy/paste as needed to your presentation; this layout/design is not required and detail can be added to your preferred slide design.

How To Complete Final Presentation Upload

AUDIO RECORDINGS

8:18 minute instruction video to upload and record audio to slides

2. Click the blue START RECORDING button to record audio for this slide. You may see a popup message when you click the button asking you if you would like to allow access to your microphone. Once you allow it you can start recording your audio. If you do not want to have audio on this slide, simply start recording and make no sound. The length of your silent recording will be the amount of time that users will see the slide until it automatically flips to the next slide.
When you speak into your microphone, the grey ‘volume’ bar will light up green if audio is being detected. The louder you speak, the more green you will see. If the bar does not turn green then your microphone is not picking up any sound.

Panel Video Capture

For panel presentations, you have the option to submit a URL link of the presentation in place of slide decks with audio voice-over!
A link from your preferred video platform, such as YouTube, Vimeo, Brightcove, or other platform can be used.
Also, if a video platform is not available, you may submit an MP4 video file captured on your preferred virtual meeting platform such as GoToMeetings, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc.
These options are available on the presenter profile page after logging in using your access key.
