GAIN 2021 took place on Thursday, February 25th, 2021.
About
GAIN consists of three major portions: Industry Talks, Poster Presentations, and Networking Session. This year, GAIN will be held using Gatherly , a spatial video platform that mimics the experience of an in-person event.
Gatherly allows its attendees to move around different floors, and interact with other attendees when you [virtually] approach them by automatically opening a video chat “bubble”. You can approach formed bubbles to join a conversation, or you can lock your bubble to keep it private. Attendees can also send direct messages, locate other attendees, or stop by our virtual help desks to get assistance with the platform.

[Virtual] Poster Session
Student Presenters will be assigned a station in one of the Poster Floors where they will have the ability to share their virtual poster with any attendees that stop by! The poster session will be held from 10AM to 11:30 AM.
Industry Talks
Industry representatives will deliver short presentations on the Industry Talks Floor. Presenters will have the ability to broadcast their talk for the entire floor. Features such as “raise hand”, and “floor chats” are available to facilitate smoother interactions during the talk.
Networking Session
Each sponsor partner will have a dedicated floor, where they have the option of hosting a recruiting event where they meet each student individually, or they can host a “drop by” group video chat.
