Review Portal
Login credentials for the Session Chair Portal were emailed to you on November 4, 2025.
Session Chairs will review and provide feedback for draft and final presentations within the Review Portal. Chairs will send task reminders to speakers through the Portal.
If a Session Chair is also a speaker, they need to use the Speaker Portal for uploading their presentation. The Review Portal is only for Session Chair Tasks, not Speaker Tasks.
