FAQ: NTI Virtual Conference Experience
Explain the difference between live and on-demand.
This year’s virtual event offers a new level of flexibility. Attending the live sessions at their scheduled times, June 9-11, means you’ll have the most opportunities to chat with other attendees and learning facilitators. If you can, tune in live for SuperSessions for inspirational keynotes, surprises and real-time chats with other attendees.
If you are attending live and don’t see any sessions of interest during their scheduled times, you can view an on-demand session that’s right for you. And if you get pulled away and can’t catch a session at its scheduled time, you can watch it later on-demand.
What if I can’t attend all three days?
We’ve designed the experience so that you can attend what you want, when you can. If you are able to take the time off, fantastic! If you can only swing a full day or two, that’s a great option. Or carve out dedicated hours over the three days to participate in a SuperSession or another highlight.
Any way you choose to experience this year’s NTI — live, on-demand or a combination of the two — you’re getting the same unparalleled education, including Sunrise and Sunset sessions, SuperSessions, educational sessions covering nearly 50 diverse clinical and professional topics and ExpoEd exhibitor education.
How long will I have access to all of the on-demand content on the NTI Virtual conference website?
All sessions, including concurrent, Sunrise and Sunset Sessions, ExpoEd and posters will be available through the end of October.
How do I know ahead of time what educational sessions will be offered?
You will find session listings under the NTI schedule tab. You can filter sessions by date, topic, level, patient population, session type, CERP category, pharmacology content and/or API.
Where can I purchase NTI commemorative items?
Purchase a wide-range of commemorative items while supplies last at our online Bookstore.
