3 Programme Tips
Pre-recorded and Live Sessions
If you plan to attend a live session discussion, you are encouraged to view presentations (talks
and posters) for that session ahead of time. The 10-minute Q&A sessions are more productive
when you have reviewed the presentations. The presentations will not be reviewed in-depth in
the live discussions.
Join the session at the stated time. They are timed and will start on time and you will miss the
section of the talk for you join late. However, presentations are available on-demand soon after
the session has taken place, so you can catch up on what you might have missed.
On-Demand Presentations
The chat boxes associated with presentations are live 24 hours during the meeting. Be sure to
visit often to see inquiries and responses.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us with your feedback. You can find APV staff by visiting the Info Desk
from the Lobby or the EuPFI booth in the Exhibit Hall.
Enjoy the meeting!
