Podium Faculty FAQs

What tasks do I need to complete in the faculty portal and how do I access them?
Presenting authors, speakers, moderators, and discussants were asked to complete a series of tasks including – but not limited to – disclosure and a faculty agreement. In addition to these tasks, faculty are encouraged to review/update their profile, provide a brief biography, and upload a photo. Click here to access your tasks. Click here to learn more about your role in the disclosure process. 

I can't find my login credentials – who do I contact?
If system-generated messaging is ever misplaced, send an email to vameducation@vascularsociety.org.

I am no longer the presenting author of a paper/abstract. How do I make this change?
Contact vameducation@vascularsociety.org. (The alternate must be an author associated with the paper.)

I forgot when my lecture is – how do I locate this information?
Login to the faculty portal, and a list of presentations you are associated with can be found under “Presentation Assignments”.

Is a presentation template available? Is it mandatory to use?
Click here or a branded VAM25 template is available via the online planner under ‘Faculty Resources’. While optional, SVS greatly encourages its use.
Do I need to submit lecture slides prior to the meeting?
Only faculty who have been contacted by the Education department (as a relevant conflict was identified b/w a disclosed relationship and the respective presentation topic). Otherwise, you may go directly to the Speaker Ready Room (Morial CC, Second Floor, Room 231-232) upon arrival at the convention center.

VQI Tuesday faculty must upload via the Orchestrate Portal by Friday, May 30th prior to coming onsite to ensure their presentations are ready for Tuesday's sessions. 

I have a video and/or animations in my PowerPoint – what should I do?
For animations or embedded videos, notify the AV technicians in the Speaker Ready Room upon arrival at the convention center.

Note: if you are giving a video-based lecture for a plenary or the ‘How I Do It’ session, the video must be muted with live narration by the faculty.

Is there still time to register for the meeting?
Yes; see this page for related information and fees. To begin the registration process, click here.

Where can I get an official International Visa Letter for the meeting? 
Click here for the International Visa Letter.
