The second service, ACR Beyond Live, allows viewers to stream a live event in real time—as it happens. Only select meetings are available in this format today, but we expect the popularity to grow quickly. If you are debating whether attending a meeting in person outweighs the travel costs and time away from the office, you may want to consider attending an ACR Beyond Live event instead. This year’s Winter Rheumatology Symposium will be available for live streaming.
