What to Expect
Make the most of your experience at Cell Symposia: Overcoming Therapy Resistance in Cancer 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.

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 #CSCancerResistance. Post messages, comments, and pictures on the provide social event feed.
3. Build your network
