What to Expect

Make the most of your experience at Cell-NCI Symposium: Beyond Cancer Genomics Toward Precision Oncology Online

Before the conference

1. Plan your schedule to optimize your time
Check out the conference program on the event website and then organize your personal attendance schedule via the online event platform or mobile app (available one week prior to the conference).

2. Familiarize yourself with the online platform
Login information and guidelines on accessing the online platform will be sent to you one week before the live event: login, test your system, audio, and video connections and download the mobile app. Take time now to familiarise yourself with the online environment. For the best experience, use a laptop or desktop rather than mobile devices.

3. Create your profile for better networking
Optimise your online profile for online networking: add a picture, short biography, and links to your social networks. Your contact information is only available to those that you agree to connect with.

4. Set reminders for live sessions
With more distractions in the home, office, or lab environment it’s easy to miss the live sessions: set calendar reminders for sessions you want to attend live–attending live is your only chance to ask questions and interact with the speakers.

During the conference

1. Learn from the experts at your own pace
Be inspired by our invited speakers and gain an insight into new research from around the world. No need to take notes as you can watch all talks and slides again after the event.*

2. Get interactive
Participate: ask questions during the live sessions, vote in the online polling, and get social using #CSBeyondCancerGenomics.  Post messages, comments, and pictures on the provide social event feed.

3. Build your network
Engage with speakers, poster presenters, and other attendees in the live sessions. Connect with other delegates to discuss common research topics and arrange meetings.

4. Collaborate 1:1
Arrange one-to-one video meetings with other participants: follow-up on key areas of interest resulting from the talks and posters.

5. Meet with exhibitors
Visit the online exhibitor booths to find out more about the latest products and services: watch demonstrations on video and chat live with company representatives.

6. Enjoy the experience
Prepare to participate and to have some fun with your peers.

After the conference

Watch any recorded sessions you may have missed. Follow up with individual speakers and delegates via the connect function in the conference app.
