Virtual platform

Benefits to the participants

• Participants are automatically registered to the virtual platform.
• Once logged in, they can access all the resources seamlessly (agenda, live sessons, full-papers, presentations, chat).
• They have access to the full agenda and proceedings in one place, with the ability to search and bookmark the presentations.
• They can chat with all participants, privately or publicly. Presence indicators show them who is online. Public Q&A channels are provided for all speakers.
• They can receive event news from the organisers.
• They can return to the platform after the event to view the material and get in touch with other participants.

Benefits to the speakers

• Speakers can upload and manage their presentations, including posters and videos, from their account.
• They can communicate with the participants both during their presentation and afterwards, in a chat channel that is reserved for their presentation.

Benefits to the organisers

• Organisers can schedule and manage live sessions from their account. These are automatically inserted in the agenda.
• Recordings of the live sessions can be inserted in the agenda with the click of a button, replacing the expired live sessons. They can later be removed.
• Organisers can view and manage all the speakers' uploaded presentation. They can see which presentations are missing; they can upload or repload a poster or video on behalf of the speakers; they can insert the presentations into the agenda at the click of a button; they can also remove them at any time.
• They can display sponsors' logos at the bottom of all pages of the agenda
• They can control access to the virtual platform by means of flexible, additive filters (e.g. limit access to users who have completed payment or have been flagged for participation).
• They can export detailed stastics of attendance.

DIY virtual platform

• Import the users (names and emails) by uploading an Excel spreadsheet.
• Create the agenda (sessions, presentations, cover page).
• Schedule live meetings directly in the list of sessions and let the software insert them in the agenda.
• Optionally, collect posters, pre-recorded videos, sponsors' data to insert in the agenda. Uploads can be performed by the users or by admins.
• Record the live meetings to the cloud and easily insert them in the agenda.
