Speaker Preparation
It is strongly advised that all presentations, regardless of virtual or in-person, need to be pre-recorded and submitted to the congress organisers by the specified date. Presenters can still present live if that is the preferred/compliant approach however the pre-recorded content will be used as a back up in the case of technical faults on the day of presentation.

In-person speakers
Live + live Q&A
- In-person speakers can submit their pre-recorded presentation by the due date listed on this document. This pre-recording will only be used if the facilities fail on the day and the virtual attendees cannot access the in-room stream link.
- On the day of presentation, speakers will need to submit their presentation slides onsite to our speaker preparation room where you will be able to go through the slides and rehearse with your speakers.
- Room setup is theatre style across all rooms
- All session times listed include set-up, presentation and pack up time. Pre-presentation room access may be available for some timeslots and subject to agreement with the APLAR 2022 Secretariat.
Virtual speakers
Pre-record + live Q&A
- Virtual speakers will submit their pre-recorded presentation by the due date listed in this document. This presentation will be played to the virtual attendees and streamed to the in-person attendees. Virtual speakers will then join the zoom link for the live Q&A that will be streamed to the Hong Kong convention centre and the virtual platform.
- The zoom links will be shared with industry partners 7 days prior to the congress commencement. It is the responsibility of the industry partner to share this information with the speaker.
Virtual speakers
Live stream + live Q&A
If you wish to deliver a live session and not pre-record, please notify us in writing. We strongly encourage pre-recording the presentations to avoid technical faults on the day.
The presentation will be hosted through the virtual platform using Zoom as the interface, similar to APLAR 2021. The speakers will be able to screen share and run through their presentations.
Greenroom/Zoom room
- The green room (zoom link) is open approximately 10 minutes prior to the session commencement. The speakers/moderators will have their audio and visual tested by the technician located in the zoom room. The technician will provide instruction to the speakers prior to going live to the Hong Kong and virtual attendees.
Q&A
- Questions will be submitted through the virtual platform/app. These will then be read out by the chairperson.
- Questions may be asked by the audience through standing microphones, it is the responsibility of the chairperson to prompt the attendee at the microphone to ask their question
The industry program is now available via our website at: www.aplarcongress.com/industry-program.
Please note program times may be subject to change.
Catering
The current restrictions in Hong Kong require food be consumed in a dedicated catering zone, which does not include individual rooms around the Centre.
APLAR will monitor this and should these guidelines change we will inform you and advise instruction on ordering food.
At this time, no orders will be approved to provide catering.
