The traditional technical sessions will be separated into in-person and virtual presentation time blocks. Sessions are either completely in person or completely virtual.

In-person technical sessions will consist of six 20-minute presentations with Q&A. (The 20 minutes includes Q&A, so approximately 15 minutes to present, 5 minutes of Q&A.) Please note that virtual attendees cannot participate in in-person technical sessions but will have access to the presentation videos and can interact with the authors on the virtual platform.

The virtual session block will follow the in-person block and consist of six 10-minute prerecorded presentations followed by Q&A for all authors.

This concept was developed to give the presenter the ability to present in their preferred format, give dedicated time for both in-person and virtual presentations, and add flexibility for additional safety protocols in San Diego if necessary.

AIAA will set aside space in the hotel, when possible, where individuals can view/participate in virtual sessions. You’ll need to bring your own device and headphones.

The virtual session block will follow the in-person block and consist of six 10-minute prerecorded presentations followed by Q&A for all authors. Each scheduled virtual technical session will have an individual virtual Live Screening room for watching the prerecorded presentations, asking questions, and chatting with session attendees. At the start of the session, the first prerecorded presentation will automatically play, followed by the remaining presentations in speaker order. During the presentations, attendees will have the ability to ask questions via chat. After the final presentation has finished, a Zoom meeting room will open for Q&A with the authors and to discuss the session.
