Virtual Technical Session Information

Technical sessions will run on 18 and 19 May from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. CDT. Technical sessions will be condensed to reflect only presentations being uploaded and a presentation schedule will be posted by 13 May. Poster sessions will involve all attendees in a GoToWebinar to watch the short talks by each poster presenter and then open it up for questions. All poster presenters are encouraged to include contact information on their poster where they can be reached after the poster session for continued discussions.

Information For Presenters

If you are an oral or poster presenter, please check your spam for an email from GSA regarding instructions on how to upload your presentation for the virtual meeting.

Oral Presentations

Oral sessions have 20 minutes per presentation (17 minutes for presentation with 3 minutes for questions and discussion). All oral presentations should be recorded and uploaded by 11 May at 11:59 p.m. CDT. Oral presentations will be available for viewing as soon as they are uploaded into the Confex system. Technical sessions will run on 18 and 19 May from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Technical sessions will be condensed to reflect only presentations being uploaded and a presentation schedule will be posted by 13 May. Presenters are encouraged to attend their technical session on Monday and Tuesday morning to answer questions. All technical sessions will end with a discussion session for all attendees.

Poster Presentations

Poster sessions will run in late morning on 18 and 19 May. All poster presenters should prepare an e-poster following directions emailed to all presenters. Presenters should then record a short video presenting their e-poster. Videos should be kept to 3 minutes or less and uploaded along with the poster file by 11 May at 11:59 CDT.

Session Chair Orientations

All session chairs are expected to view an orientation video before the sessions they are chairing. There should be at least two session chairs for each meeting to keep the Webinars running smoothly. Session chairs are expected to run the videos in order, keep to the schedule, and assist with questions and answers through the chat function. We really appreciate your help!

Presentation Recordings

All presentation recordings will be made available no later than 15 May. They will remain active and available until 22 May. Authors may give permission for presentations to remain online, attached to their abstract, permanently if desired.
