For IDEA2021, we are requiring ALL presenters to send us a pre-recorded version of their presentation. This is what the virtual attendees will be able to view on the virtual conference platform, Attendeehub,

Please do not record your presentation until your Powerpoint file has been submitted and approved by the IDEA team. 

Your presentation will go ‘live’ at the time indicated on the educational session. Attendees will be able to access the room 5 minutes before in a ‘waiting room’. Once your presentation goes live, attendees will see the video player, where your recorded presentation will play, a PDF of your PowerPoint slides, your bio, and Q&A section.

Attendees can submit questions in the Q&A section during your presentation. You will have the ability to go into the AttendeeHub to answer the questions anytime after your live presentation ends. You can also connect with the attendee directly if they leave their contact information. 

As an attendee, you are welcome to view your own session at any time.

Please use the video below as guidance when recording your presentation.
