Thinking of attending our 44th Annual Meeting virtually?

While there is nothing quite like attending the Annual Meeting in person, we recognize that not everyone has the opportunity or ability to travel. As a result, we are excited to offer virtual attendees this opportunity to stay current on the latest industry topics alongside in-person attendees. Virtual attendance provides the perfect opportunity for industry professionals to attend the SSP 44th Annual Meeting in Chicago on their terms.

All keynotes, plenary sessions, and selected educational sessions will be streamed live June 1-3, 2022. Streams will include speakers and any presentation materials. Virtual attendees can submit questions to speakers during these sessions via a chat facilitator, so you’ll feel like you’re right in the room! Participants can also chat in real-time with other virtual attendees via the virtual meeting platform for online networking. Several additional online networking opportunities will also be available for virtual attendees.

Recordings of all other sessions in the Program will be available on-demand in the meeting platform/app within 24 hours after the session occurs. The meeting platform/app will also contain posters and a complete attendee list.
