How will the virtual meeting work?
The virtual annual meeting will operate on Zoom and be similar to any in-person meeting. Presentations are assembled in sessions according to a theme. A moderator coordinates each session. Session presentations are presented live during the meeting in webinar style.
As with in-person conferences, there will also be a dedicated period for questions and discussion after the presentations. Participants will be able to use a Q&A box (similar to a chat) to ask questions during, and right after, the presentations. The session’s chairperson will then select a few questions, depending on the time allocated for the discussion, and will read them to the presenter, who will be able to answer verbally during the session. The presenter will also be able to answer, after her/his session, any remaining questions through the Q&A box.
Poster presentations are pre-recorded and available for review prior to the virtual meeting here https://people.metabolomics.info/nih-fall-2020. Those presenting posters should be virtually present for the poster session on October 1st in order to answer questions and participate in the discussion.
Unless otherwise advised by participants, all the sessions will be fully recorded and made available for watching online, only to those who have registered, during the conference and after. This will allow participants in less favorable time zones or life situations to catch up with content.
