Get ready for a virtual event on Fourwaves

This article explains what to do to get ready for a virtual event on Fourwaves.

Register to the event

Everyone including presenters need to be registered to the event. If you're not registered to the event, go to the event website and fill the Registration form.

If the registration period is closed, contact the organizers. Additionally, if you encounter access issues or are unable to log in, reach out to the organizers for assistance.

You can confirm that you're registered by going to your Participant dashboard, on the Registrations tab. There you should see events to which you're registered.

Activate your Fourwaves account

Click the link in the registration confirmation email received after registration.

If you lost this email, you can request a link to activate your account:

  1. Enter the email used in the registration and you will get a link to activate your account and set your password to login.

Use a compatible browser (e.g. Chrome)

Compatible: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari or Opera.

Not compatible: Internet explorer and old versions of Edge.

If you're using a mobile device:

  • Apple (iPhone or iPad): Safari only.

  • Android: Chrome or Firefox.

Run a video conversation test

The first time you join a video conversation, Fourwaves shows a preview screen before you enter. Use it to check that your camera and microphone work. Fourwaves also tests your network connection: if your network may be blocking video calls, a message appears with a Learn more link to Troubleshoot your connection to a virtual poster session. When you're ready, click I'm ready, let me in!

This is useful if you plan on participating to virtual poster sessions. If the organizers set up a practice session, join it on the device you plan to use on the day of the event.
