Maximize Your Event Experience

Your first stop in the virtual platform should be to the Edit Profile link in the top right corner of your screen. Please upload your photo and enable chat so you can engage with other members via the platform's chat feature (orange bubble icon on the bottom right of your screen). And don’t forget to set your time zone!

After that, you'll want to explore the left-hand menu to discover all you can do on the event platform:

  • Check out the Agenda to browse the agenda by day, download reminders to your calendar so that you can come back to join Live Sessions next week, view homework video files to prepare for lightning talk q&a/discussion, add events to your personal schedule (saved under Favorites) and come back to view Session Recordings after Live Sessions take place (please allow 48 hours for posting).
  • Check out the Poster Hall to view posters and accompanying video files and poster images, and mark your favorites to visit during live daily poster sessions (11-15 January 2-3:30pm EST).
  • Check out the Exhibit Hall to visit our virtual exhibit booths and view accompanying video files and images, and mark your favorites to visit during live daily exhibit hall hours (11-15 January 11:30am-12:30pm).
  • Participate in Exhibitor Raffles.
  • Join in the Points Race to win prizes!
  • See who else is participating under Attendees and exchange Virtual Business Cards (cards shared with you are saved in Favorites).
  • Initiate chats (via video or text within the platform) with Attendees, Speakers, Poster Presenters, and Exhibitors to connect with friends old and new.
  • And MORE!
