Why concurrent sessions?

This year, MPM will include two concurrent session tracks. This will help to accommodate more time zones in the live conference by maintaining the same number of presentation opportunities in a compressed schedule. Don’t worry, you won’t need to miss any talks! Recordings of all talks will be available to registrants for 30 days after the conference ends.

Conference App

To attend the sessions, you will need to sign in to the Conference App using your registration badge number and last name. Instructions and links to the App will be available September 18.

If you don’t know your badge number, you can access it through the Registration Resource Center. Click “Forgot login info” and an email will be sent to you with the information.

We strongly recommend you build your personal schedule in the App before the conference starts.

Program/Abstract Book

The program/abstract book will contain the Schedule of Events and the full abstract for all oral and poster presentations.
