The Presenter Center is considered an event in your meeting in the AMS. An event is any component of a meeting that has unique requirements or considerations. It is possible to have more than one Presenter Center event within a meeting.
If a meeting has not already been created, you will need to do so. Please refer to the Meetings section of this knowledge base for assistance creating meetings and events.
Next you will need to create a Presenter Center event under the corresponding meeting in the AMS. To make a presenter center event, you will select a SubType of Presenter Center. In the event grid, the SubType will display as the MasterCode of PresCenter. Again, please refer to the Meetings section of this knowledge base for assistance.
You will need to have additional Presenter Center events if the requirements vary for the different presentation types (poster, panel, oral, workshop, etc.) such as number of co-authors permitted, types of uploads required, deadlines, bio or cv requirements for author and/or co-author, and submission questions.
Note the Event ID of the Presenter Center Event once it has been created as it will be used when setting up other areas of the Presenter Center.
The EarlyBird and Advance CutOff dates are not used and will default to the date the event was created.
The Start/End Date will have no values until the event is created. At this point a set of tabs will display above the event details page. Use the Dates tab to set the duration of the Presenter Center submission period.
Click on + Add new date to add a date.
The Date field is required and is the only field which needs to be filled in at this time.
The first date will be the starting date of the submission period and the last date will be the last day of the submission period. If there are more than two dates listed, the remaining dates will be ignored and can be deleted. If there is only one date it is assumed that the submission period is one day long.
You can have multiple events with a SubType of Presenter Center if you will be having multiple submissions types.
