High-quality, short, themed meetings that are of the moment; too often the larger conventional meetings are planned months and years in advance and don’t necessarily have the flexibility to present topical subjects. triMS-online wants to be different.
Access to international experts using a shorter format than that is traditionally used at conventional conferences; we don’t want viewer’s drifting off because the talks are too long. All presenters are being trained to give punchy well-timed talks. We know human attention span, particularly online, is short.
A more diverse group of presenters, i.e. younger presenters, with a more international flavour and with gender equality in mind.
Synchronous and asynchronous attendance; you can log-in and watch the meeting live or come in after the meeting is over and watch the talks at a time that suits you.
Access; online meetings will allow people from all over the world to access high-quality online content. This is particularly relevant to people living in resource-poor countries who don’t necessarily have the finances to travel to International meetings in expensive cities.
Environmentally friendly; we hope that by attendees not needing to travel we can help reduce the environmental footprint of meetings.
Create a platform and format that can be used locally or regionally. We anticipate creating a triMS-online X platform in the near future, which will allow others to host regional meetings; these could be different languages and addressing specific topics of interest to specific countries.
