When do I need to be online?

Symposium Presenters

Symposia are the only presentations that will be live streamed. Symposia presenters can find the date and time of their presentation slot through the online schedule or the Scientific Program Book. Please connect with the chair of your symposium if you have questions.

Session Presenters

Session Presenters DO NOT NEED TO BE ONLINE AT A SPECIFIC TIME to "present". All sessions have been uploaded into the platform in the prerecorded format that you submitted several weeks ago. You can log into the platform at any given time to see and answer questions sent to you via the chat function.

Poster Presenters

Poster Presenters MUST BE ONLINE during their scheduled chat session timeslot to answer questions regarding their poster presentation. All poster presentations and accomdoating poster PDFs have been uploaded into the platform in the prerecorded format that you submitted several weeks ago. The poster chat session schedule is available in the online schedule and below. Please reference your abstract confirmation if you are unsure as to which chat session your poster is a part of.

Please read all guidelines pertaining to your presentation, the format, upload requirements, and reference the Presenter Submission Checklist. Presenters that do not follow these guidelines and do not register for the conference WILL have their abstract pulled from the virtual conference and the conference preceedings.

All abstract presentations for the PSA 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting are to be pre-recorded and will be available throughout the conference and to registered attendees through August 21, 2020.

As of July 2, 2020 at 12:00 AM CST, presenter material submissions are no longer being accepted. 

All Abstract Presenters:

• All abstract presentations are to be pre-recorded by the presenters. Please see the Guidelines for Submitting Your Pre-Recorded Presentation on the PSA Meeting website for detailed specifications.
• In addition to the recording submission, presenters are requested to upload a biography (250 word limit) and photo headshot (­­­­100x100) at the same time.
• All presenting authors must be registered for the conference by June 30, 2020. This is a requirement. Failure to register by the deadline and/or submit your video presentation recording will cause the abstract to be removed from the final proceedings and could limit your submission for future meetings.
• All submission items (photo, biography, pre-recorded presentation link, poster, etc.) are to be submitted to the 2020 Presenter Materials Submission Form.

Student Presenters:

• All students will submit a pre-recorded 5-minute abstract presentation, with your choice of visual aids, AND provide a virtual poster for viewing during the meeting.
• The video presentation is an opportunity to present your research in 5 minutes in a form that can be understood by an audience with no background in your specific area. This presentation is not a “mini” version of the standard PSA 12-minute talk, but a chance to explain the breadth and significance of the research being conducted in a way that makes the audience want to view your poster. (See the Virtual Posters section below for more information.)
• As there are no specific guidelines for this video presentation, we encourage authors to try new innovative approaches to presenting their findings.
• All students are required to be available during the scheduled Virtual Poster Q&A session for their section, similar to the traditional PSA Poster Reception. At that designated time, presenters are to be online to answer any questions and chat about their poster. This is not expected to be a poster presentation, simply a Q&A session. (see the Virtual Posters section below for the schedule.)

Professional Presenters:

Professional presenters have their choice of: 1) a pre-recorded 12-minute abstract presentation, with your choice of visual aids OR 2) a 5-minute abstract presentation, with your choice of visual aids, AND a virtual poster.

• 12-Minute Presentations
• • There are no specific guidelines for a 12-minute presentation. Presenters can choose the traditional 12-minute talk over PPT slides or change the format to a new innovative approach to present your findings. If going with the traditional method, presenters are only to upload the pre-recorded video, not PPT slides. The slides should be part of the recording.

• 5-Minute Presentations

Virtual Posters:

• All posters shall be written in English only and submitted in PDF format only.
• The following sections are to be included on each poster:

Session Q&A Schedule:

Monday, July 20 (All times are Central Time)

Tuesday, July 21 (All times are Central Time)

Wednesday, July 22 (All times are Central Time)
