*NEW THIS YEAR* This year, the virtual and in-person meetings will be integrated to allow for more global engagement. Note, this will not be a fully hybrid conference. We will do this in a few ways:
- Attendees who cannot travel to the in-person meeting can submit virtual SMP/ICCM presentations (talks), which will be reviewed in the usual way. These submissions will include a video recording, which will be disseminated prior to in-person meeting. During the in-person meeting, there may be a few opportunities for virtual speakers to engage with the in-person attendees such as a general Q&A session, or a limited number of ‘featured’ virtual talks.
- There will be one hybrid conference room, equipped with an Owl Labs Smart Device, to facilitate interaction among virtual and in-person registrants. Attendees may submit a hybrid symposia or workshop proposal, where at least the lead organizer is in-person, and a minimum of one presenter is virtual.
- The Society will record live presentations at the in-person meeting and disseminate them online after the conclusion of the meeting. These talks will be posted alongside virtual submissions, and the talks can be viewed asynchronously anytime.
