Select "Posters" from the left-hand menu of the virtual ARN Conference platform. There is a Poster List and a Poster Gallery. The poster list will list out all posters, similar to the sessions. The Poster Gallery will open up an interactive poster wall. Both of these options will provide you a way to search for posters, view poster PDFs, listen to poster audio, and rate posters for the “People’s Choice Poster Award”. Similar to the schedule, you can favorite posters you want to show up in "My Schedule" by clicking on the star next to each poster.
Note: Not all posters have recorded Poster audio. If a poster includes audio, it will begin playing when you click the “View Poster” Button.

Yes! The ARN virtual conference platform has both a Q&A and Discussion feature that will be available for every presentation (sessions and posters). In the schedule or posters sections of the platform, click on the session or poster that you want to ask a question on. Then click on the "Discussion + Q&A" button. If you have a question for the presenter, please enter it in the "Questions" section. If you have a question or comment that you want other attendees to be able to respond to, enter it in the "Discussion" section.

After a live session finishes, a recording of the session will be made available. In the schedule section, click on the session you want to watch. If the recording is available, you will see a button that says "Watch On-Demand." This button will not be available until after the scheduled live stream of the session. Sessions that are exclusively On-Demand will be available to watch On-Demand for the entirety of the conference.

In the schedule section, select the session you want. Click the "Slides" button next to the presenters' names. If a presentation has additional handouts, you will see a "Handouts" button.

When you access the Schedule, you will see that the Paper and Case Study presentations are organized grouped into themed sessions. When you click on a Session Theme/Title (i.e. "Paper Session: Scientific – Nurse Work Live/Palliative"), that session will expand to show all of the different presentations contained in that session.
Note: The individual presentation times within a session time are estimated as closely as possible to their timeslots, but may not be totally accurate, as some presentations may run over or under the time on the schedule. We recommend that you pay closer attention to the overall Session Theme/Title's time rather than the individual presentation time.
