Can’t join us in person in Chicago? Then the SSP Virtual Meeting is for you! Again, this year we are offering a virtual attendance registration option that provides the perfect opportunity for industry professionals who are unable to travel to the SSP 40th Annual Meeting in Chicago to view selected sessions in real-time throughout the three-day event. Virtual attendees can access critical educational content to enhance their professional development and stay current on the latest industry topics without the time and expense of travel. While there is no substitute for attending the SSP Annual Meeting in person, we recognize that not everyone has the opportunity or flexibility to travel, and offer this alternative to ensure the widest possible dissemination of our programming.
The SSP Virtual Meeting will be streamed live in real-time May 30-June 1, 2018. In addition to all keynote and plenary sessions, virtual attendees will be able to participate in five additional sessions specially selected by the Annual Meeting Program Committee. Virtual attendees are invited to submit questions to speakers during these sessions via a live chat facilitator. A video stream of both the speaker and any slides will be broadcast so you’ll feel like you’re right in the room! Participants can also chat in real-time with other virtual attendees for online networking via the virtual meeting platform.
If interruptions pull you away from your desk during an important session, you can revisit a missed session at a more convenient time up to 60 days after the meeting. Recordings will be posted within a few days.
