No. The conference general sessions and didactic preconference sessions (for an additional fee) are available via live-stream.

Answer:

Answer:
Paid tickets are required for the preconference program. If you registered for a preconference session, the ticket is included in each registration packet. Available tickets can be purchased through advance registration. After Nov. 27, tickets (if still available) will be sold only onsite at the AAOMS Attendee Registration Center in the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk.
Conference general sessions do not require tickets.
Access to the live-streamed sessions will be available to registrants only at AAOMS.org/DICprogram by logging in with their email address and eight-digit registration/member ID number.
ONLINE ACCESS INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS

Each attendee will be sent platform access instructions to the email account used to register for the conference.

Answer:
The online conference platform is compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets and smartphones. For optimum access, disconnect from a VPN (if possible). A strong internet connection of 1.4 Mbps is recommended.
AAOMS highly recommends accessing the site through Google Chrome for all conference platform features. Internet Explorer is not recommended.
Testing your device is an effective way to ensure you are ready to access meeting content. The platform provides a system check tool that runs a series of checks on your computer and web browsers to receive confirmation your device is suitable to use the full potential of the platform.
Answer:
If you have connection or audio issues while attending a session, check your internet connection, refresh your browser or re-enter the session. Also try checking the speaker audio icon or laptop volume. AAOMS highly recommends using the latest version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
