Frequently Asked Questions

If you have an urgent question, please email digitalprograms@ashg.org
Will I be able to participate remotely during the live sessions?

Yes, attendees of each live session can use the Q&A box to ask questions to the speakers and discuss with other audience members in the Chat box. The chat box will be monitored during the session and the moderators will select questions from the remote audience during the Q&A portion of the session.

We are unable to offer Continuing Education credits for this event.

Can I get a Certificate of Attendance?

Closed Captions

All educational sessions during this digital forum have live captioning supported by an education grant from the Illumina Corporate Foundation. These live captions are being provided by a professional human writer. Please note captions are not verbatim, but balance four key principals of timing, accuracy, latency, and placement to achieve optimum quality. Note: networking sessions with breakout rooms will not have captions.

Can I cancel my registration?

All refund requests must be made in writing to digitalprograms@ashg.org within 90 days of purchase. Those requesting refunds for courses/events that are already in progress will receive partial refunds or Learning Center credit. Automatic full refunds will be made for any event with a live component that has been canceled.

Do the events have limited capacity?

Yes, each live session does have limited capacity. If you receive a pop-up from Zoom when you try to join that there is no more space in the event, you can try again periodically to see if an attendee has left the session to allow more room. Also, all sessions are being recorded so anything you miss will be available on-demand!
