Log into the conference portal

Presenters will have access to the online conference portal approximately One Week before the event. We recommend presenters log in early to:

Familiarise yourself with the presenter dashboard
Check session information including your abstract and biography
Upload a photo of yourself
Familiarise yourself with the Live Q&A feed
View any handouts you may have provided in advance
Preview your pre-recorded presentation (if applicable).

DURING THE CONFERENCE

Log in early

We recommend presenters log in early on the day of their presentation. This will allow you to:

Familiarise yourself with your equipment and make sure everything is in good working order (ie microphone and camera working, plenty of battery if using a laptop, stable internet connection).
Review your online content (presentation video and handouts if supplied).
Familiarise yourself with the Live Q&A feed.
Connect with your fellow presenters (if you are co-presenting you will be able to connect with your fellow presenters via the presenter chat).
If you have any issues or queries, you can connect with the support team through the Control Room Chat or log a Live Support ticket.

During your session

Presenters should be logged in 10 – 15 minutes prior to the commencement of their presentation.

Presentations will automatically commence at the nominated start time. There is no need for presenters to start or activate their talk.
The main reason for presenters to be online is to participate in live Q&A with audience members.
Audience members can type questions into the Live Q&A box at any time.
Presenters are able to answer questions via text throughout the presentation, or save responses to the end.
Presenters are able to moderate questions – by doing so, the audience will only see answered questions.
Audience members and presenters will also be able to participate in a discussion forum throughout the presentation. The discussion forum should be used for general discussion, with questions for presenters asked via the Live Q&A feed.
Presentations, Live Q&A and the Discussion Forum will end immediately at the advertised time. There will be a timer counting down to the end of the presentation.
Delegates will be able to log back into the presentation to view the recording “on-demand”. Live Q&A and Discussion Forum content will also be available.
At the conclusion of the presentation, presenters can go back to the timeline and participate in the conference as usual.

Live support

Live support will be available throughout the conference opening hours and will include dedicated IT/AV support.

Should presenters require assistance at the time of the conference they should contact support by:

Control Room Chat: this chat feed is easily accessible via your presentation in the online conference portal. Queries will be quickly picked up by the support team
Live Support Hub: live support is immediately accessible via the icon at the top of the online conference portal. Users should log their query in the live support chat box and a team members will respond as quickly as possible.
