How will the virtual meeting work?
The virtual annual meeting will operate on Gather 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. Session presentations are held in a virtual “space” that can be navigated in a similar way to an in-person meeting.
As with in-person conferences, there will also be a dedicated period for questions and discussion after the presentations. Participants will be able to “walk” to a Q&A podium to ask questions during, and right after, the presentations.
Posters are available for review prior to the virtual meeting here https://people.metabolomics.info/nih-fall-2021. Those presenting posters should be virtually present for the poster session on September 29th in order to present their posters, answer questions, and participate in the discussion.
