Success Strategies for a Virtual Meeting

April 16, 2021 | 1 - 4 p.m. CT

Thank you for joining us April 16 for the first in an ongoing series of Professional Development Seminars! These programs are designed for early-career professionals in gene and cell therapy, but will contain information that will help anyone in a scientific field looking to enhance their skills.

Members: Watch On Demand

The three-hour seminar was divided into three mini sessions. Each mini session was created to help an early-career professional be more successful in an online setting. While most examples focused on strategies specific to the ASGCT online platform being used for our Annual Meeting, the information should be able to be easily applied across other platforms and meetings.
