Between September 17 and 25, you can use the Conference App to view virtual posters.
Log in, then click on your session of interest. The poster file will be available as a “Virtual Poster” link near the bottom of the session detail pane. Look for this icon:
Click the “play” button on the bottom left of the poster to play the audio. You can zoom in and out using the magnifying glass icons and can move the poster around by clicking and dragging.
You can leave questions for poster presenters using the Conference App. Simply scroll to the very bottom of the poster’s app entry to find the “Discussion” section that allows you to leave a comment for the presenter to reply to. Check back at the end of the conference for their replies. This feature is especially useful if you will not be able to make it to the Live Poster Sessions.
Comments will be visible to all attendees.
Poster Sessions will take place using the Remo virtual platform, which provides a video discussion forum that mimics an in-person networking event. Presenters can display their poster to table attendees by uploading it to the table “whiteboard.” They will discuss their work with groups of attendees coming and going throughout the session, just like they would at an in-person meeting!

You must test whether your system meets Remo’s technical requirements before the conference. Make sure you are using the computer and browser that you plan to use during the poster sessions.
❗Important note: you cannot access Remo from a tablet or iPad.❗
You can only access the Poster Hall during scheduled poster sessions or the test session on September 18. To access the Poster Hall:
❗When you first enter the poster session, you will be seated at a random poster “table.” You can move to a new poster by double-clicking on any table where there is a free seat. ❗
Note that there are two poster sessions held at the same time, in two different Remo “buildings.”
In each session/building, there are five floors. Each floor has 12 tables, each labelled with a poster number (the Program Number or PgmNr listed in the App).
A maximum of eight people at a time (seven visitors and one presenter) can be at one table.
The Program Number (PgmNr) of each poster is listed in the Conference App. Once you enter the poster session, check the session listing on the top right of the screen to find which floor each poster program number is assigned to.
You can move between floors using the elevator-style panel on the left. 
If you find you are in the wrong session, you can switch to the other session using the button at the top left of the floor plan.
Remo does not work well on mobile devices.
This will improve the performance of Remo and the quality of your audio and video feed.
Unmute yourself to ask questions, but remember to turn the mic back off when you’re not speaking.
Access the whiteboard through the “More” icon in the bottom toolbar.
If you did not add a profile picture during the Remo registration process, you can add one by editing your profile using the circle icon in the top right hand corner. Your “Headline” is the text that will appear when people click on your icon. For example, you could use the headline to list your scientific topic of interest. You can also connect your profile to your LinkedIn account.
If you have technical issues, first try reloading your Remo browser window to see if it corrects itself. You can only log in to Remo on one device/browser at a time; make sure you log out of Remo if you decide to switch to another device or browser.
Remo only works on certain combinations of browsers and operating systems, so you may need to download a new browser or update your operating system to a later version. Google Chrome typically works best for Remo on all systems. Remo will not work well on phones and will not work at all on tablets.
If your camera or microphone does not work, here are some troubleshooting guides to help you resolve common issues:
My camera and microphone do not work on Windows 10
My camera and microphone do not work on MacOSX
My camera and microphone do not work on iPhone
My camera and microphone do not work on Android phone
If your internet connection is too slow for Remo and you do not have access to another network, you can try participating in the session without sharing your camera. We also recommend quitting other applications on your computer during the poster session.
