You can put your poster up on your assigned poster board any time after 10:00 AM CDT in the poster hall. You can check for your assigned poster number is the Epitome.

Further the reach of your research: In-person presenters should upload their poster to the virtual platform one-page PDF of their poster, along with an optional five-minute video explaining the information. Virtual attendees will view your poster online. This is a great way to expand the audience viewing your research.

To upload your poster, log into the Speaker Console, find your poster and upload the PDF to the documents section. 

Virtual Session Presentations

Presenting virtually is only available for Sessions B11, C11, F11, G11 and R11.

Present Live

Please login to create a profile on the virtual platform and mobile app through the Speaker Console. Having a profile will help attendees find and connect with you during the conference. The Speaker Console is also where you will find the personalized Zoom links for your assigned presentations during the meeting.

Technology testing

Log in and test your technology at least three (3) business days before your presentation. The Join Practice Session link will activate three (3) days before the conference.
Please note: we cannot test technology while other talks are ongoing.

Presenting live

On the day of your presentation, log in to the Speaker Console at least 30 minutes before your session. Go to My Sessions, select the appropriate one, and then click the “Join Live Session” button.

You will be entered into a Zoom Webinar where you are able to watch other presentations, ask questions and present your research. Do not open other browser tabs playing the session. This can cause audio interference/feedback.

Do not upload a video to be played if you cannot make your session. If you prefer to present by video, you may play the video from your personal computer and then be available for live Q&A.

Audience interaction

Audience questions will be asked aloud by attendees or submitted via chat and read to you by the session chair.
