We would like to welcome you to the INS 2021 Annual Virtual Event!
You should have received communication regarding your poster or paper session and the instructions as to how to prepare your presentation. Please contact abstracts@the-ins.org if you have not received this email. You can look up your session date, time and presentation order listed alphabetically by .
Please Note:General meeting registration is required for the presenter to participate in the Virtual Event.
The deadline for uploading your poster or paper presentation will be Friday, January 15 at 11:59pm PST.
Your digital poster(s) and paper presentations will be available to attendees to view throughout February and will include a discussion board for interaction with attendees. You are not required to be present at a certain time, however, be sure to check the discussion board for on-going discourse.
Digital Poster Upload Instructions: Once you login to the abstract submission platform, you will be able to view your abstract content, but you will not be able to edit it. Please click the Poster Upload button for the abstract for which you are a presenter, then click Upload file which will open a browser window on your computer where you will select and upload the poster file. If you have multiple posters to present, you will need to upload each one individually.
Allowed file types are: PDF, PDFX, JPG (we recommend high-resolution PDF). Please note there are no formal size/format/layout requirements although a 1080 pixel height x 1536 pixel width is ideal. Attendees will be able to zoom-in on your poster content.
File names should not have any special characters and files are auto re-named based on your submission ID #. If you replace an uploaded file, the name will remain the same, but the associated date and time will be updated.
Paper Presentation Recording Instructions: Please record a 10 Minute Maximum presentation for your paper directly onto the virtual platform as per instructions below. We ask that you do not exceed the maximum allotted time to allow all presenters on the virtual platform equal time for each paper session.
Once you login to the abstract submission platform, you will be able to view your abstract content, but you will not be able to edit it. Please click the Record Presentation button for the abstract for which you are a presenter. Next click on the blue Recording Instructions button in the left-hand corner of the box and follow the guide. If you have multiple papers to present, you will need to record each one individually.
If you would like to have a live interaction with attendees, you have the option of holding Office Hours at your selected date and time either during your session or any time after during the Virtual Event. This is not required. Office Hours allow attendees to enter a private meeting room where they can discuss the presentation and ask questions. This provides a live component of interaction in addition to the discussion board. If you would like to take advantage of the Office Hours component, please email abstracts@the-ins.org with your abstract ID and requested date and time. We suggest a half hour to an hour time window. This option is only available to paper presentations.
