Navigating the 'Schedule' view
The Schedule tab provides an overview of the conference programme. You can navigate between each day of the programme. Sessions are listed by timeslot and then alphabetically by session title.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The search function on the Schedule page only searches session titles (and not participant details or the titles of individual papers and presentations). To find your own paper, please use the Presentations tab; there is further guidance about how to use this below.
You can search for specific sessions, or browse the list of sessions per day. You can also bookmark sessions of interest, and then filter the list to show only your bookmarked sessions. You can also filter the list of sessions by tracks; this will show the list of sessions sponsored by each of the Society's Research Groups per day. Use the Tracks for 'In-person-only'; 'Hybrid' and 'Online-only' to filter by session format.
When you click on a session, you are taken through to the full details for each session, showing you a list of presentations and other information about the session. At the top of the list you will see a 'presentation' called 'SESSION DETAILS', which includes full information of the session including the organisers. This willl be followed by presentation(s) listing the chairs for the session, and then by the papers appearing in the session. Session pages also include their day and timeslot. At the moment they also contain placeholder room names; we will publish actual room information in mid July.

Navigating the 'Presentations' view
The Presentations tab lists all submissions to the conference. You can search by title and author, and filter by session name. Session chairs, panellists, discussants, and full session details are also listed here as 'submissions'/presentations.
Use this tab to find details of your own paper(s) and the sessions in which they will take place.
As with sessions, you can bookmark presentations of interest, and filter to see these only.
Uploading additional/asynchronous content to presentations
With over 30 parallel sessions at the conference this year in each timeslot, it's a busy and packed programme, and lots of sessions to choose from. With so much going on, we know that you might not be able to make it to every session that interests you, which is why we are really excited that this year session organisers and presenters can upload additional content to presentations in the online programme.
This means you can share your research with colleagues who are not able to join your session in real time, whether that's because they're on different time zones, in other sessions at the same time, or not attending the whole conference. They can view and comment on the material you upload outside of live sessions, and you can keep the conversation going beyond the session itself. You can also use this in the run up to the conference to share content with others in your session ahead of time and make connections ahead of the event.
You can upload:
We warmly encourage you to make the most of this capacity.
How to add content
Log into Fourwaves and navigate to your original submission. New questions have been added which allow you to upload additional material. For further guidance please see here.
Uploaded material will be visible to registered delegates when they are logged into the conference programme, and available for up to three months after the conference. If you have any questions please contact us at ac2023@rgs.org
