New! for the 2021 IADR/AADR/CADR General Session:

Hybrid meeting format: Virtual Components & Recordings:

TThe 2021 IADR/AADR/CADR General Session will be hybrid, with some in-person and some virtual components. Virtual components may incorporate live stream presentations, simulcast presentations, pre-recorded presentations, or any combination of these elements. This format will enable individuals to participate in the 2021 General Session either in-person or virtually. To ensure each potential attendees’ experience is robust, all session proposals must have full participation in virtual components from speakers, Chairs and Organizer/Chairs. This will require compliance as follows:

Organizers extending tentative invitations to speakers included on the session proposal.
- Tentative invitations to speakers should request confirmation regarding whether or not the speaker would participate in the virtual components of the hybrid meeting.
- Accurate, long-term email addresses must be provided for each tentative speaker at the time of submission. Placeholder email addresses or use of Organizers contact information for speakers will not be permitted.
Full participation in virtual components includes recording for post-presentation availability on IADR hybrid meeting platform for at minimum 90 days for registered attendees
Organizers, Chairs and speakers will be required to complete training on virtual presentation and how to utilize the IADR hybrid meeting platform prior to the start of the meeting.

The IADR/AADR Annual Session Committee reserves the right to issue a provisional decision on all session proposal types contingent on obtaining full compliance in virtual components from all participants.
