Program

This year, we will be using a digital program platform called Sched. Here is the link for SEALS 31 Sched Program. Please note that you must be a registered attendee to be able to access the Zoom links.

Sched offers a number of convenient options that we invite you to take advantage of, including:

  • Creating a profile to network with other participants and give feedback on presentations/events
  • Creating a personalized schedule of conference talks/events that you want to attend 
  • Filtering conference events by type, topic, and other filters
  • A mobile app to keep up with conference events on your phone (for in-person attendees)

This guide is intended to make using Sched easier for all attendees of SEALS 31. If you have any questions or concerns about anything related to Sched or the conference program not addressed in this guide, please contact us by email at seaconfs@hawaii.edu. 

Please click the links below to be taken directly to the Sched guidelines. For presenters, please add your bios to your Sched profile by 10 May 2022.

Sched Guidelines for Presenters

Click the links in blue to access more information on each step from the Sched website.

Editing your presenter profile

  • Presenters will be given access to create their own Sched profiles, to which you should add a photo and current bio. You should expect to receive an email invite from us to log in to Sched as a speaker.
  • Follow the link in the invite email to set up your Sched profile password. Then go to your settings page to add a photo and update your profile.

Sched tutorial: Upload presentations and files

  • Once you log into your profile, you will see that your session has already been created as part of the Sched program, and your profile (and that of any other presenters/authors) has been linked to your session.
  • You can add files such as handouts and presentation slides to your sessions. [*Please note, presentation zoom links will be added directly by the SEALS committee.] Attendees will be able to download attached files on the event’s website and mobile app. Files can be any type, and have a maximum file size of 50MB. The file name will be visible, so make sure to name the file something clear and readable.
  • Include a link to presentations on Google Slides or Dropbox in the session description.

Sched Guidelines for Attendees

Click the links in blue to access more information on each step from the Sched website.

  • Create an account
    • Registered attendees, we have sent out your attendee invite for Sched to create your account. If you have not received your invitation yet, please contact us at seaconfs@hawaii.edu. Your free Sched account can be used to create a custom schedule, network with other attendees, and take your event schedule on the go. 
    • From the conference event page, click “SIGN UP” to create an account.
    • It is possible to create an account by associating it with a Facebook or Google profile; however, this will automatically import information from your public social media profile. If you prefer not to include information from your public profiles, and add your profile photo and bio yourself, sign up for the account using your email address. 
    • To change your profile timezone, there is a dropdown menu on the right side of the home screen of Sched labeled “Timezone”. Use this menu to toggle the timezone to your own.
  • Make account public
    • Go to account settings by clicking your profile icon in the corner of the screen and selecting “Settings”.
    • Next, check the box that says “Make my profile & schedule public”.
    • Click “Save settings” when finished.
  • Edit profile
    • Once you’ve created your account, you can go to your settings page to edit profile information, including your name, affiliation, email, and a biography. 
    • These elements are not required, but you are welcome to fill in your profile in whatever way you like. 
    • Please make sure to keep your bio professional, and refrain from using offensive language.
  • Change username and password
    • If you want to change your username and/or password, you can do so under your account settings. 
    • In the “Profile Info” section, click the blue text that says “Update username or password”.
    • Once you’ve adjusted your account information, click “Save Settings” to confirm.
  • Delete account
    • If you want to permanently delete your Sched account, you can find the option under account settings.
    • Click “Delete your account”, then click “Email Me Link To Delete My Account”.
    • Once you receive the email from Sched, you can follow the instructions to permanently delete your profile. 

Create your personal conference schedule

  • Add and remove sessions from your schedule
    • Each session on Sched has an empty bubble to the left of the session name. If you’re logged in to your account, you can click the bubble and that session will be added to your personal schedule. The session will display a check mark in the bubble once it has been added to your personal schedule. 
    • You can view your personal schedule by clicking your profile icon in the upper left corner of the page. 
    • Note: you can hover your mouse over a session name to preview session information, or click the session name to view the full session details. Please note that some sessions will have in-person presenters and others will have virtual presenters.
