VIRTUAL ACCESS

The conference website link was sent to all delegates at 7:00pm Wednesday 25 August. Keep an eye on your registered email for this important access information. We suggest once you receive the access link to test your login and get a feel for the virtual platform. You can also click the link on the image below and enter your username and password set up when you registered.


Conference Handbook
If had registered on or after the 17 August or are located overseas or registered to attend the NZ Hub, you would not have received the delegate pack containing a copy of the conference handbook. You can download a copy of the handbook by clicking the handbook image below. You will also find the updated program book below.

Accessing the Virtual Portal
The congress portal is now open. The presentations won't start until Saturday, but you can log in now to view the portal, posters and plan which sessions and presentations you want to attend. You can also start interacting with other delegates in the meeting hub. 

To access the portal you would have been sent a direct access link, or you can log in using your registered email and password.

We strongly recommend that you test your access prior to the conference start. You will be asked to confirm a few details about yourself and check that your camera and microphone work with the system and have allowed access. This will take a few minutes. There is also a welcome video that will show you the features of the portal, if you need to back to this video after viewing it you can find it by clinking on your profile at the top right hand side of the page and click 'settings', This is also where you can control the information others see about you, add your image and information about yourself. Check before the congress starts, so that you don't miss the first session. You can also view the introductory video at the bottom of the page.

System Requirements
Both Chrome and Microsoft Edge can be used to access the portal. You may be able to use other browsers such as Safari or Firefox, however this is not recommended as some of the features of the system may be limited.

In order to connect your camera and microphone to the congress, you will need to allow this for your browser. On the left of the URL address, there is a small padlock. Select this and allow access to the camera and microphone. This will allow you to ask questions during sessions and to interact with other delegates and exhibitors.


Accessing Sessions
You will see a list of all the sessions on your timeline for each day. Click "Join" to enter the session.


Asking Questions
If you would like to ask a question, you can do this in the Live Q+A section, or you can create a discussion in the discussion forum. If you would like to ask a question live, select "Raise Hand" and you will be invited to the session Green Room, where we will prepare you for asking your question live onstage.


Virtual Exhibition Portal
Please take the time to interact with our exhibitors during the meeting. Congresses such as these could not occur without their support and they are waiting to speak to you. Visit the "Virtual Exhibition" and browse each of our exhibitors stands. If there is a representative from the stand available, you can select "Meet" and they will be there to answer your messages or have a video conference with you. They also have multiple handouts available for you in the Exhibitor Gallery.


Posters
This year, our posters will be presented in the "Poster Display" session. Some are already available for you to view. Our poster presenters will be visiting their posters during the congress and will be available to discuss with you their posters. Connect with them using the "Meeting Hub" to arrange a time to discuss their poster. You can also ask them a question in the Discussion Forum and they will answer these as quickly as possible.
