25 Aug Update: Preparing to move to virtual only

Due to the COVID-related lockdown in New Zealand, the organising committee has decided that a virtual-only conference is now best. While disappointed to not be hosting people in person, we have a strong programme planned and feel confident that the virtual conference will be just as useful. As approximately half our audience is already virtual, for many of you, the below plan will simply provide an even richer experience.

To better suit the changed format, the programme has been updated resulting in some presentations shifting, most notably one of the sessions now being offered on the afternoon of Tuesday 7 September.

What will the virtual conference experience include?

  • One easy to navigate virtual conference platform
  • Virtual networking allowing you to interact with each other regardless of location (text, video chat, scheduled meetings)
  • Virtual poster presentationPost-conference on-demand access (if you can’t join in a session live you will be able to access the recording)
  • Sessions will be run as Zoom Meetings with easy access via the online agenda on the virtual platform

Information for presenters:

All presenters can elect to present live virtually if desired. Please review the updated programme and ensure you have responded to the recent email to advise us if your preference is to present live or if we should use your recording. All presenters are asked to provide recordings regardless of choice as a backup precaution.  We will be in touch with presenters again soon to provide you with a rehearsal option and to give clear instructions to those planning to present live.
