About the Online Conference Track

For our global network who are not able to join us in person, we offer the IASD Online Track. This 4-day academic program includes selected highlights broadcast live via Zoom from Ashland, Oregon. It is filled with evidence-based talks on the latest dream research, lucid dreaming, working with nightmares, the art of creative dreaming and others we know you will enjoy.

The topic of dreams will be explored by a rich array of leading experts in the field, sharing their latest findings and insights. If we say so ourselves, the line-up is absolutely dreamy.

Be in the virtual room with our speakers, have the opportunity to ask questions in the live chat on Zoom, and receive follow up recordings of each session in the online program. No matter where you are in the world, you won’t miss a thing!

Notice to Presenters re Preloading Files:

In the presenter guidelines, we asked that presenters show up 15 minutes early for their sessions to load their PowerPoint or other files onto the computer in the room that they will be presenting in.  We also suggested that to save time, you load them on that computer during a break prior to their session.  Please note that doing that on the previous day can be a problem in case someone wipes the files clean the evening before. To overcome this, we will attempt to place folders on the screen for each day (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) for you to load them into for the day you are presenting. If the folders are not present, it is best for you to wait until the day you present to pre-load or make sure you show up 15 minutes before your session to do so.
