Remote Talk Presentation

Remote Talks are not presented live, they are presented by playing a video recording of your presentation. You will be online during your Talk Session to answer questions after your presentation.

You must upload your video presentation no later than May 12. See instructions below.

To present your talk remotely, you must complete the following requirements no later than May 12.
