Presenter Meeting Guide

Meeting Platform: Registered attendees can log in to #AGU21 from the main #AGU21 page to access the mobile app/online planner to build your schedule, view pre-recorded content and interactive posters, and navigate the meeting. Most sessions will be live streamed. They will be available for on-demand viewing within 72 hours of the session’s end and until February 2022 for registered attendees.

  Important Notes:

  1. Declare whether you will be presenting in-person or online here if you have not already done so.
  2. Register for #AGU21. You will not have access or be admitted to the Zoom room for your session unless you are registered.
  3. Review the Health & Safety updatesincluding how to show proof of vaccination before attending #AGU21 in-person. AGU strongly encourages all in-person attendees to complete the SafeAccess verification process ahead of arriving to New Orleans. After you have registered for the meeting, expect a vaccine verification email from [email protected]. Please allow up to 2 business days for the email.
  4. AGU will require masks to be worn at the convention center, including the oral session rooms, poster hall, and exhibit hall floor unless actively eating, drinking or presenting. AGU will require masks regardless of New Orleans’ policy at the time of the meeting. 

    Quick Tips:
  • If you are in a scientific oral discussion session:
    1. Complete your pre-recorded 15-minute presentation by 7 December and upload it here so that attendees can access it in the online planner and the mobile app. (not required for Union, Named Lecture or Innovation sessions)
    2. Prepare your overview presentation for your oral discussion session and upload it here. This is usually about 3 PowerPoint slides.
    3. In-person and online oral presenters, ideally by 7 December and at least 24 hours before your session, upload your overview presentation slides to the same system here. This can also be done in the speaker ready room onsite.

AGU offers a one-click transfer of Fall Meeting posters and presentations via the Participant’s Corner to archive on ESSOAr, a community server established to accelerate the open discovery and dissemination of Earth and space science early research outputs, including preprints and posters presented at major scientific meetings, which will increase a poster or presentation's visibility and reach after the Fall Meeting. To take advantage of this feature, presenters should make sure to add their ORCID identifier to their profile.
