All registered attendees will receive full instructions for accessing the mobile app and web app, as well as the event code, in the week before ASSA 2021 Virtual.

The mobile app is the mobile version of Socio and is for use on either iOS or Android devices. It offers full functionality but is limited to one open window at a time. Great for on-the-go use or for use in conjunction with the web app.

The web app is a web-based version of Socio and can be used on any device with a browser. This is a great solution if you want to use a laptop or tablet, watch a live stream on a larger screen, or simply don’t have an Android or iPhone device.

SET UP YOUR PROFILE
Set up your profile by going to the ME icon at the bottom of your screen. This is your window, so add a photo, include a short bio in the Summary section, and add your contact details and social media in the Accounts section.

VISIT THE AGENDA
To see what’s taking place when. Open the session to read the session description and see who is speaking. Make sure you take note on which stream the session you are interested in takes place.
Create your own agenda (“MY AGENDA”) by adding sessions using the + at the side of the agenda time slot. Add a reminder if you’d like to be alerted when the session is about to begin.

VISIT THE SPEAKERS
To familiarise yourself with the speakers and read their bios.

ACCESS THE AGENDA AND PRESENTATIONS
Use the AGENDA icon to see what’s on the schedule for the day, which stream the session is being aired on, and then access the LIVE STREAM. View the presentation by clicking the session you are interested in.
If you’ve added sessions to your personal AGENDA and set up reminders, you won’t miss a thing.

LIVE STREAM
Remember depending on which stream the session is on you will select LIVE STREAM 1, LIVE STREAM 2 or LIVE STREAM 3.

JOIN A VIDEO ROOM DISCUSSION
Head to the VIDEO ROOM icon, browse through available rooms, and join other attendees in discussions on various topics hosted by our sponsors or speakers.

VISIT THE NETWORKING HALL
The NETWORKING HALL offers the opportunity to make real connections and experience the feeling that everyone is in the same room. Each day at the lunch breaks the NETWORKING HALL will be open – think of it as a virtual alternative to the coffee lounge, a place to meet, interact, and chat with other attendees. You will be able to move around, meet new and old friends, and chat one-to-one or in small groups.

Q&A DURING SESSIONS
While watching a LIVE STREAM, you’ll be able to ask a question using the built-in Q&A function which shows on the righthand side of the LIVE STREAM page.
Questions are moderated by the session facilitators and passed on to the speaker for a verbal response.

VIEW ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Oral presentations are 20-minute recordings of presentations which will be available on demand from the ORAL PRESENTATIONS icon.

CHAT AND INTERACT WITH OTHER ATTENDEES ON THE WALL
Chat with other attendees and post photos and thoughts just like you would on social media. Whether it’s serious or light-hearted or if you’d like to ask a question of fellow attendees, feel free to discuss and chat.

THE WALL is also where you can keep the conversation going after Q&A is over – use THE WALL to discuss the topic, or anything else that’s on your mind.

WATCH FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS
This is where the Conference Organiser will post notices and updates.
