You must register to submit an abstract. The abstract submission link will be sent to you in your registration confirmation email.
Abstract submission deadline: 23 April 2021
The conference will be structured to allow live presentations among different time zones. We are requesting recording of presentations to be posted on this wiki to ensure their availability to any time zone.
Posters
All posters will be electronic and linked to this wiki page. We are requesting that poster presenters provide a recorded description with their poster presentation. We will be using Kumospace for a live Q&A session.
Oral Presentations
Each oral presentation will be presented live. Pre-recorded presentations are posted on the wiki page. In the live sessions, an additional 5 minutes will be given for questions.
It is best to open all links to pre-recorded presentations and posters in a new tab. The easiest way to do this is to hold COMMAND (Mac) or Control (Windows) while simultaneously clicking the link.

Discussion Sessions
Discussion sessions can be between 30 and 75 minutes. The structure should be determined by the panelists. These may begin with a presentation or introduction followed by discussion or may be completely devoted to open discussion. No prerecording is required.
Conference Abstracts
Zoom Information
- Make sure you have upgraded your Zoom client.
- We suggest the desktop client or mobile app, which use less bandwidth than Zoom in your browser. See Zoom help for more: https://bit.ly/2RM0rzQ.
- Please use the Zoom Q&A feature if you have questions for the presenters. The chat function will only be used for discussion.
- When joining a session from the wiki, a quick “registration” will let you into the session. Please just “register” for the Zoom webinar sessions that you’re interested in attending.
- After you submit your information (in an effort to reduce bot/Zoombomber discovery), you’ll be taken directly to the webinar.
- You will not need to switch “rooms” if you’re hoping to join presentations in the same session (e.g. Concurrent Session 6), but you’ll need to switch to a different Zoom “room” if you want to jump from Concurrent Session 1 over to Concurrent Session 2.
Kumospace
We will use a website platform called Kumospace for coffee breaks and the meet & greet. Kumospace is similar to Zoom, but more casual and fun (there’s a rooftop pool).
Location: a link to our Kumospace room will be provided via email and during the conference. In the meantime please check out kumospace.com and take a look around to become a little familiar with it.
