General

  • If I am unable to attend my live oral session, can I pre-record a presentation and have this played during the session?

    Yes, you may pre-record your presentation to be played withing your live oral session.  If you are presenting in a hybrid or virtual-only session, please follow the instructions within the speaker management platform to pre-record your presentation.  If you are in an in-person oral session, you may reach out to your session presider or symposium organizer in advance to request that your pre-recorded presentation be played in your absence.

  • Can a presentation be moved to another session?

    Please reach out directly to your division program chair by Friday, January 5 to request a change to your oral presentation session. After January 5, we can no longer make any changes to the presentation schedule.

  • Will the oral technical sessions be recorded for OnDemand viewing?

    No, the oral technical sessions will not be recorded for OnDemand. Any OnDemand content provided will be at the discretion of the presenters. Presenters are responsible to opt-in and submit a recording via Speaker Management, in the virtual platform. 

  • I need to change who will be the abstract presenter, or I am presenting instead of the original presenter. Who do I inform of this change?

    To ensure presenters are properly identified for in-person or virtual sessions, we do ask that presenters are correctly noted in MAPS for each abstract in the program. Please contact ACS at maps@acs.org to request changes to the designated abstract presenter.
