Registered conference attendees can now access the talks and posters on our attendee access page! Please see the following document for a step-by-step guide to accessing the conference materials and commenting on them: guide to engaging with conference materials.

Discussants will be provided with draft slides / handouts for the oral and invited presentations in their session by June 1st. They are invited to provide any sort of discussion they see fit related to their session. Some possible discussion format options:

Poster presenters may upload one audio and/or video presentation up to 5 minutes in length, and/or one .pdf document (e.g., a poster, a short set of 3-5 slides, etc.) to the LabPhon 17 Dropbox. They will each be associated with one of four scheduled poster sessions during the regular conference program (between July 6th and July 8th) in which they are asked to be available in an individual online meeting space on the conference platform for live interaction (video and/or chat) with attendees.

Oral presenters may upload one audio and/or video presentation up to 20 minutes in length, and/or one .pdf document (e.g., handout, slides, etc.) to the LabPhon 17 Dropbox. They will be asked to provide a draft of their slides / handout by June 1st (to be shared only with the appropriate thematic discussant) in order to facilitate the discussant’s presentation, though this may be updated before the materials are made generally available to conference attendees.

Invited speakers may upload one audio and/or video presentation up to 40 minutes in length, and/or one .pdf document (e.g., handout, slides, etc.) to the LabPhon 17 Dropbox. They will be asked to provide a draft of their slides / handout by June 1st in order to facilitate the discussant’s presentation, though this may be updated before the materials are made generally available to conference attendees
