Lobby
From here you can navigate to the Auditorium, Exhibit Hall, or Information Desk.
Exhibit Hall
Sponsors, publishers, and other societies have been invited to host a booth in the Exhibit Hall, where you can peruse information posted at the booth, interact with booth representatives, or store information to review later in your Swag Bag.
Auditorium/Program
All on-demand and live events are available through the auditorium. Click on the screen in the center to see a searchable listing of all sessions. Sessions can be searched by session title, talk title or speaker name. Pre-recorded/on demand talks are listed immediately preceding the session with which they are associated. If you prefer to search for speakers and sessions using SIAM's own online program, the program is listed here and speaker index is provided here.
Information Desk
If you have questions about the platform, this is where you can find help. Click on the link to go to a chat where you can post questions to vFairs and SIAM staff.
Chat
To encourage attendees to engage in an asynchronous discussion of work being presented, chat rooms have been made available for each booth and session. If you wish to engage in a group video chat, simply click on the name of another person in the same chat, activate a video chat with that person, then post the video chat link back in the original chat room to invite others to join.
