How to Navigate Virtual Conference
We are looking forward to hosting you at the 58th annual conference of the Eastern Academy of Management. I write this to provide some details on how to navigate the virtual conference.
For the 2021 Eastern Academy of Management Conference, we will be using the virtual platform Attendify. We are using Attendify, which will contain all of the information you will need (such as session times, zoom links, passwords, etc.) in one place. Attendify also allows us to create dedicated spaces to engage attendees throughout the conference and provide access to all conference information for a year. There are two ways to access EAM2021@Virtual on Attendify. You can use one or both ways to access Attendify.

Zoom
All the presentations, panels, workshops will be held in zoom. Please make sure to install the latest version of zoom if you are using the app version of Zoom.
You will need to be signed into your Zoom account. If you do not have a Zoom account, you can follow the instructions here. We highly recommend using a desktop client or mobile app of zoom for the best experience. You will find your zoom links for your sessions and others on the Attendify platforms.
Conference Attendees will have the option to join zoom sessions inside Attendify’s platform or open within the native zoom app
Zoom Etiquettes
Social Hours and Poster sessions will be on Spatial Chat. We will provide links in the Attendify App. Spatial chat is a virtual environment that mimics an actual physical space, and you can navigate through a virtual space. Instructions on how to use spatial chat can be found here.
