Do I have to be present on all days of the meeting to attend?
No, you do not have to be present each day to attend the meeting. All sessions will take place live on the day and time listed on the agenda. However, if you cannot attend the live sessions, all content will be available on-demand until December 31, 2025, so even if you cannot attend one or more of these days, you will still be able to access the educational content. Being present on the dates of the meeting allows you to interact and engage with speakers and attendees in real time.
After I register, when will I receive more information about the eConference?
Closer to the start of the eConference, all attendees will receive an email with more details about how to access the virtual eConference platform. The same platform will be used for this meeting as was used for past Spring into Feline Medicine eConferences. If you attended any of those meetings, it will be familiar to you. You will also receive an email one week before the eConference with the Proceedings Notes so you can access them online.
How do I get the most out of this virtual eConference?
We suggest treating the eConference as you would an in-person conference for your calendar and other obligations. Prioritize your time so that you can truly be present in the experience by focusing your attention on the session in front of you. It’s also a great idea to minimize distractions as it is easy to multi-task and get preoccupied. Instead, try to reduce background noise, create a comfortable setup, and get ready to start learning! Attending this eConference has huge benefits if you take advantage of everything it has to offer. In addition, you will have on-demand access to all the sessions until December 31, 2025, so you can watch and access as many CE sessions as you like!
