Moments from previous live events

The American Meteorological Society annual meeting is nowhere near our largest meeting, nor our most technologically complex. But it is certainly one of our most consequential, given the current state of climate and extreme weather events. And its theme “Towards a Thriving Planet: Charting the Course Across Scales “ succinctly sums up the meeting’s and the Society’s vision and mission.

Climate and weather affect us in varying ways on local, regional, global, and temporal scales. Extreme weather events such as heat waves, floods, and wildfires are likely to exacerbate impacts on regional and local spatial scales. On longer timescales, communities are increasingly facing chronic stressors such as drought, ecosystem transformation, and sea level rise. Climate change is also taking a toll on human health and well-being, fueling migrations and political upheavals.

Towards a Thriving Planet is an opportunity for researchers, governments and private industry to share knowledge, collaborate, and address the challenges of integrating research and societal decision-making . Our dynamic iPoster technology gives all of these stakeholders the ability to create and explore interactive, multimedia presentations that set forth the research in all of the detail needed – both onsite at the event and online, any time and anywhere.

Enhanced Visualization of Complex Data
• Meteorology relies heavily on data visualization, including satellite imagery, climate models, and weather pattern simulations. iPosters allow researchers to embed high-resolution images, interactive charts, animations, and videos, making complex information easier to interpret.

Real-time Interactivity
• Unlike static posters, iPosters enable dynamic content, such as real-time weather maps, animated climate simulations, and interactive graphs that allow users to explore different variables.

Integration of Multiple Media Formats
• Researchers can include audio explanations, embedded datasets, and links to external resources (e.g., NOAA, NASA, or ECMWF climate models) to provide a more comprehensive presentation.

At a time when the validity of scientific research is being questioned, and science itself being turned into an ideological issue, it is an honor to be providing our iPoster technology to the world’s largest gathering of Earth and Space scientists: the 2024 American Geophysical Union annual meeting in Washington DC.

Over 25,000 scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists, and communicators, from over 100 countries are gathered here to better understand our planet and environment – to open pathways to discovery, create greater awareness to address climate change, facilitate collaborations that lead to solutions, and to make the fields and professions of science accessible, diverse, and inclusive.

This is our 8th year working with AGU, and our biggest yet: over 9,000 professional and student researchers are presenting their work on our iPoster Platform. 4 daily eLightning sessions in 6 eLightning theaters, running concurrently. A lot of energy and a lot of great science. We’re looking forward to starting work on AGU25 in New Orleans.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) annual Convention is one of the largest professional development events in the field. Participants include audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; and speech-language pathology and audiology assistants. The Convention theme – “ELEVATE!” – reflects the goal that this year’s program will provide  the tools, strategies, and motivation they will need to elevate their practices and research across all aspects of speech, language, and hearing sciences.

The Annual Convention brings together approximately 15,000 attendees and offers more than 2,500 sessions, covering the latest research, clinical skills, and techniques in communication sciences and disorders.  Over 1,000 iPoster presentations were created.

iPoster authors earn CE Credits for either on-demand virtual-only presentations or 90-minute in-person presentations with Q&A’s.  To earn the credits, authors were required to to include 15 minute recorded narrations with AI transcripts, or video presentations with AI captions. Over 250 hours of this multimedia content are stored on our cloud servers. Content is streamed to both the conference venue in Seattle, and to virtual attendees around the world, during and after the meeting. The iPosters are available on any internet-connected device.

Accessibility is, of course, another key concern of ASHA. In addition to narrations, transcripts, and alt-text – we provide our ADA– and WCAG-compliant accessibility widget. It gives attendees full control over color, contrast, font size, line-spacing and other screen attributes in order to make the science and innovations available to all. Like ASHA, we are committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments for learning, sharing and career advancement. Read more about our commitments to accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion HERE.

We look forward to working with ASHA again on their 2025 Convention in November at the Washington DC Convention Center.

Sustainability is probably not the first thing that pops into mind when you think about outer space exploration. But the 2024 International Astronautical Congress (IAC) made sustainability its main theme. In fact, Responsible Space for Sustainability refers to two different, and very important, aspects of the world’s space programs:

• the development of networked earth observation satellites and technologies to measure and monitor climate change and other environmental issues.
• the fostering of responsible practices for the sustainable exploration of outer space, including traffic management, planetary protection, as well as emerging technologies for spacecraft end-of-life, green fuels and closed-loop systems.

The Congress is organized annually by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), with which we have been working since 2019 on both their annual congresses and their smaller, thematic meetings . They have taken us to Washington DC, Dubai, Paris, Baku, and now to this year’s Congress, their 75th and largest ever, in Milan, with more than 11,200 delegates from 120 countries.

 Responsible Space for Sustainability featured over 1,700 poster presentations on 90 interactive touch screens. Authors were able to book their own presentation times and screens during the relevant topical sessions, using the built-in online booking platform we developed especially for IAF. The iPoster presentation Gallery for this and other IAF meetings are available online on any internet connected device, anywhere.

IAF is an international space advocacy organization based in Paris. It was founded in 1951 as a non-governmental organization to establish a dialogue between scientists around the world and to lay the foundation for international space cooperation. Members include space agencies, companies, universities, professional associations, museums, government organizations and learned societies.

We look forward to working with IAF on their upcoming Global Space Exploration Conference (GLEX2025) in New Delhi in June 2025, and the next IAC in Sydney in October.
