SCHED Instructions

Follow instructions within the invitation to setup your account in SCHED. If you already have an account with the email you used to register, you can simply login and you should see the Eastern States Conference in your events.

  • View the schedule in simple, expanded, and grid mode.
  • Create your own schedule of presentations to attend.

Updating SCHED Information

Presenters

  • Enter/Update your abstract information by editing your description. Refer to the support document here: https://sched.com/guide/edit-session-description/
  • Upload a recent photo.
  • Add a brief biography not to exceed 150 words that includes:
    • 1 sentence with name, credentials, and current position.
    • 1 or 2 sentences with education and previous training.
    • 1 or 2 sentences with plans for future (PGY2, other training, new job).
    • 1 sentence with professional organization membership and involvement.
  • Components for uploading your presentation in SCHED:
    • You can upload your presentation to SCHED by attaching a file to your profile. We encourage you to upload your PowerPoint or a PDF of your presentation for attendees to view at any time. However, this does not take the place of you presenting and you should still bring your presentation on a flash drive or have access to it online. You can access your presentation from SCHED, if you’d like, but don’t rely on that alone.
