Frequently Ask Questions (FAQ)

What is ANS’s ethics policy?

Please review the ANS Code of Ethics and Respectful Behavior Policy.

Are there copyright concerns for hosting our presentations on the meeting platform?

Presentations should not have copyrighted material included, because the sessions will be recorded and viewable by meeting attendees at any time. Please email meetings@ans.org if you have any questions or need assistance ahead of time.

Where do I find the links to join sessions?

All links will be live 30 minutes before the first session starts. Please feel free to add all your sessions to your personalized itinerary. You can also add sessions to your calendar by clicking on "Subscribe to Your Itinerary Calendar." Please note the zoom link for each track will stay live the entire afternoon. If you are switching tracks, or are watching a track that is combining sessions, you may have to open a new zoom link.

Will there be anyone to help run my zoom session?

Yes, each technical session will have a Knowledge Manager assigned for basic assistance. For any extra assistance or questions, please email meetings@ans.org.

I am presenting in a session, do I need to register?

Is there a time limit to my presentation?

Please speak directly to your Session Organizer for assistance on how your session will be run.

Is there a presentation template?

Where do I upload my presentation?
