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). The conference agenda is set to Eastern Daylight Time, so do not forget to set your time zone if different from EDT.

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, add events to your personal schedule (saved under Favorites), and download reminders to your calendar so that you can come back to join Live Sessions during the conference dates.
• Check out the Poster Hall to view poster images and accompanying files.
• Check out the Exhibit Hall to visit our virtual sponsor and exhibit booths and view accompanying video files and images, and mark your favorites to visit during live daily exhibit hall hours.
• Participate in this year’s Points Race to win prizes! We hope this new gamification feature of the annual conference is something attendees will enjoy.
• 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, sponsors, and exhibitors to connect with friends old and new.
• And MORE!
