Know Before the Show!

How to get started

All aboard! Before you dive into the CE sessions, tech tables, and special events at AASV's 52nd Annual Meeting, we encourage you to get to know the virtual platform.

While the Annual Meeting kicks off with preconference seminars on Saturday, February 27, the platform itself will open on Thursday, February 25. Take some time before the meeting to explore. To get started:

  • You will receive an email invitation from aasv2021@aasv.org to log into the virtual conference platform – this is your ticket to the meeting, so keep an eye out for it!
  • If you haven’t received the login invitation by the end of the day Thursday, double-check to make sure you registered, then contact aasv2021@aasv.org to let us know.
  • Once you have created your password and logged in, check out the various areas, including CE sessions and posters, special events, tech tables, the Foundation auction, and much more!
  • Be sure to update your profile right away! Add a photo and a few biographical details and check to make sure you are comfortable with the privacy settings.
  • Read a few helpful tips to make the most out of your virtual meeting.

CE and events for you

Once the platform opens, you’ll be able to build your customized schedule. Please note: all sessions are listed in central time (CST). Select sessions for:

  • Special events, like scholarship and award announcements and student trivia
  • Preconference seminars (preregistration required, which you can still enter here)
  • Poster sessions
  • Concurrent sessions
  • General sessions
  • Research topics

Filter by track to find the sessions related to your areas of interest. Wish you could be in two places at once? This year you can! All sessions will be available on demand until April 30!

There is a CE certificate and information about CE credit hours on the FAQs page. Be sure to keep track of the presentations you attend!

Please tell us what you think by filling out the session and meeting evaluations. You’ll be able to evaluate each presentation you’ve added to “My Schedule.”
