Watch-in-Advance Sessions

100% Live Discussion, Watch Recordings in Advance

A few of GSA's technical sessions (see below) are part of a new presentation format this year. This new format requires meeting attendees to watch the recorded presentations early and come to the live session prepared with questions and comments to contribute to a dynamic discussion. Recorded presentations will not be shown during the scheduled session.

Meeting attendees can watch the recorded presentations at their leisure in the "On-Demand Talks" section of the e-attend platform. The time during the live session will be devoted entirely to Q&A/discussion. This format allows more time for interaction and networking during the sessions.

You must be registered for the meeting to watch sessions in advance.


The following sessions will not be showing recorded presentations during the scheduled session. Please be sure to watch these sessions ahead of time and attend with questions ready for the presenters.

To watch presentations: visit the e-attend platform, then go to On-Demand Talks.

Tip: use the "Name or Code" search to narrow down the list.
