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, participate in live discussions, 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.
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).
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
Virtual workshops and social events are open to all meeting attendees without any advance signup. 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.
Virtual short courses require advance signup. If you have registered for a virtual short course, you will be able to click a Zoom link from the meeting website when you are signed in as a registered attendee. Attendees who have not signed up for that short course will not be able to access the link.
Live virtual workshops will be recorded and made available for on demand viewing the week after the meeting. Live virtual short courses and social events will not be recorded. All on demand content will be available to registered attendees until July 2023.
On Demand Q&A
On Demand Q&A will be available for all individual papers and posters during and after the conference. This area will be available as a button on each presentation's page.
For presenters, you have two different ways to participate in the Q&A. We recommend bookmarking both of the applicable links and keep them open in different tabs.
To ASK a question as an ATTENDEE, you need to be logged in to the meeting website (this website) as an attendee using the same email address and password you used to register.
To ANSWER a question as a PRESENTER, you need to be logged into the appropriate Speaker Portal (Talks, Posters) using the email addess and Access Key that were emailed to you on Friday, August 11th. This is a different password than your usual ESA login.
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.
