Though the 2022 World Conference will not be fully hybrid, we are exploring our options to offer at least some elements of the conference virtually. 

As things currently stand, conference sessions will be delivered one of four ways: 

• In-person: All presenters will be at the conference in San Francisco and present in-person. 
• Hybrid: All presenters will be at the conference in San Francisco and present in-person, but the audio and powerpoint from the session will be livestreamed or recorded and made quickly available to the virtual conference audience after presentation.
• Virtual live: All presenters will present virtually, live during the conference with recordings of the session available on the conference website afterward. 
• Pre-recorded, on-demand: All presenters will pre-record and edit their video presentation and provide the finished video file to ACBS. The recording will be available on the conference website. There is no live or in-person aspect to this option.

The vast majority of sessions will either be in-person only or hybrid, there is limited space in the completely virtual, live track. 

If your session is selected for hybrid presentation:

• We will plan on you and all of your co-presenters registering and attending the in-person event in San Francisco.
• You will be required to submit post-test questions so conference attendees who view the recording can earn CE credits.
• Anyone who selects the "IN-PERSON" option in the "Additional Submission Details" section of the submission form will automatically be considered for hybrid presentation.

If your session is selected for virtual live presentation:

• You and all your co-presenters will present LIVE, virtually during the conference (sessions will not be pre-recorded), and be available for live interaction with virtual attendees participating via chat. The conference will be from approximately 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
• You will be required to submit post-test questions so attendees who view the recording can earn CE credits.
• Most of these sessions will be translated into Spanish. ACBS would like to keep the recordings indefinitely so they can reach a broader audience.  
• If you would like your session to be considered for virtual live presentation, make sure you select the "VIRTUAL LIVE" option in the "Additional Submission Details" section of the submission form.

If your session is selected for pre-recorded, on-demand presentation: 

• You and all your co-presenters will need to pre-record and edit your presentation. You will need to send the finished video file to ACBS staff by May 26 so it can be uploaded to the conference website. 
• If your session is a workshop, panel, or symposium, you will be required to submit post-test questions so conference attendees who view the recording can earn CE credits.
• If you would like your session to be considered for pre-recorded, on-demand presentation, make sure you select the "PRE-RECORDED" option in the "Additional Submission Details" section of the submission form.

ALL submissions:

• Presenters' profile information is linked to the email address submitted. If different email addresses are submitted for different sessions, you will need to fill out your profile information each time. To avoid this, make sure your co-presenters always use the same email address for you when completing a submission.
• Your session will be assigned a presentation type (in-person, hybrid, virtual live, or pre-recorded) at the time of acceptance. ACBS will be unable to change your submission's presentation type after it has been accepted, unless there is a cancellation. 

Poster submissions: Posters can be submitted for virtual only presentation. Regardless of in-person or virtual presentation, at least one poster author must register to attend the conference (either in-person or virtually). 

Ignite submissions: Ignites can be submitted for pre-recorded, on-demand presentation. Regardless of in-person or pre-recorded presentation, at least one ignite author must register to attend the conference (either in-person or virtually).
