Presenting Virtually

We truly encourage you to attend in person as that will foster the community in WSDM and allow you to enjoy the wonders of Mérida. If you truly cannot attend the conference as a speaker, you will be able to present virtually through Zoom. The links to each session will be available in the Whova App. Make sure to download the app and sign in with the same email you used to register for the conference.
