Aging & Social Change Research Network

Modes of Participation

The Aging & Social Change: Sixteenth Interdisciplinary Conference is organised as an online knowledge experience. Registration provides access to the CG Scholar Event (KX) environment, where all conference activities take place within a single, integrated scholarly space. Proposals become Presentation Pages, sessions are brought together in a shared online schedule, and digital media and discussion boards enable delegates to engage with one another before, during, and after the conference. Live Zoom sessions and asynchronous themed paper presentations offer multiple ways to participate and connect with the international conference community.

We keep the model simple:

Present: Contribute a online themed paper, live online workshop, online poster, or other presentation format to the program.

Participate: Join the conference as an audience member, attending live sessions, viewing asynchronous presentations, and engaging in discussions without presenting.


Within each mode, you can:

Present: contribute a paper, workshop, poster, or other format to the program.

Participate: join the conference as an audience member, engaging with sessions and discussions without presenting.

Online Participation Options

Online formats bring presenters and audiences together across distances in a shared digital space. Through live workshops, asynchronous talks, and digital posters, delegates can present work, listen on their own schedule, and return to ideas more than once. Questions and comments unfold in discussion boards attached to Presentation Pages, so dialogue can build over days rather than minutes, keeping the exchange human-scale even when we are not in the same room.

Present:

Asynchronous Online Presentation: 20 minutes – pre-recorded talk with supporting digital media, available on demand with a discussion board.

Asynchronous Online Poster: single-page digital poster, viewed on demand – concise visual display of work in progress or key findings with online discussion.

Live Online Workshop: 45 minutes – real-time online workshop with active participation and Q&A.

Participate:

Online Audience Pass: For delegates who join the event entirely online, accessing live and recorded sessions, and contributing to discussion spaces across the Event (KX) environment.
