Meeting Platform Features
In order to have full access to the meeting platform features, as well as access on demand and live content, you must be logged in using the same email address you used to register for the meeting. Once you are logged in, you will be able to create a personal schedule, set up an attendee profile, take notes, access Zoom links to any virtual or hybrid sessions, and access uploaded talks and posters.
If you are not logged in as a registered attendee, you will still be able to browse the schedule and read abstracts and session descriptions.
Please note that posters are listed separately from other meeting content. You can search posters and poster presenters, but these are listed separately from talks and other session types.
Meeting Time
Meeting times are listed as the local time in Portland, Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). In your attendee profile, there is an option to set your local time zone and have times display as that time zone instead. This option is right after your name and optional pronoun fields. If you choose to display times in your time zone, be sure to select your correct time zone to display.
We recommend in person attendees select Display times in the event time zone. This will always display the local time in Portland (PDT).
We recommend virtual attendees select Display times in my time zone with your time zone set to where you will be while you are attending the meeting. When you are logged in, the website will always display the meeting times as your local time where you are.
How To Build Your Schedule
Clicking the star icon (favorite) next to any presentation or session will save it to your personal schedule. You can add custom meetings to your schedule. You can export your schedule in several formats (ICS, Word, Excel, PDF, print).
Networking Features
If you complete your attendee profile, you will be listed in the Attendee list which is only visible to other meeting attendees. You can choose to display pronouns, answer profile questions, display a contact email (this is on a opt in basis), display virtual ribbons, and exchange messages with other attendees.
On Demand Virtual Content
On demand virtual content is available for all registered meeting attendees to browse as their time allows. On demand virtual content (uploaded talk slides, talk audio, and poster PDFs) will be available when the talk or poster begins so that you can take notes on slides in the meeting app. Video recordings of plenary sessions will be available within 1-2 days after each plenary.
How To Join A Live Virtual Session
Starting 15 minutes before the virtual session is scheduled to begin, a button will appear on that session's page with a Zoom link that you can click to join. We strongly recommend joining these sessions from a computer rather than a mobile device.
Virtual social events and livestreams for hybrid paper sessions are open to all meeting attendees without any advance signup. Any registered attendee who is logged in to the meeting website will be able to see the button with the link to join these sessions.
Virtual short courses require advance signup. Although any registered attendee who is logged in to the meeting website will be able to see the button with the link to join short couses, only attendees who have signed up for the short course will be able to click the Zoom link. Attendees who have not signed up for that short course will not be able to access the link (it will appear locked).
Hybrid paper sessions will be recorded and made available for on demand viewing the week after the meeting. Virtual short courses and social events will not be recorded. All on demand content will be available to registered attendees until July 2023.
Virtual Ribbons
Many virtual ribbons are available to add to your attendee profile. Some are professional and some are just for fun. We will also have ribbons in person this year in a self serve area for you to add to your badge.
