Accessing Paid AACR Webcasts
Users who purchased access to AACR Annual Meeting 2012 webcasts as part of their AACR Annual Meeting 2012 registration package received an email on April 30, 2012 with login instructions. This e-mail contained an access code link that allows you to create an account to access the webcasts you purchased. If you had previously created an account to view AACR webcasts, the access code URL will allow you to add access to your existing login account. Please note if you have already created an account to view AACR webcasts, you must explicitly add access to your existing account in order to view the AACR Annual Meeting 2012 webcasts.
Users who purchased access to view webcasts from the AACR Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics webcasts or the AACR Annual Meeting 2011 webcasts, were also sent an email that contained an access code link that will allow you to view the paid webcasts from those conferences.

Speaker Permissions
Participation in the AACR Annual Meeting Webcast is left to the discretion of each speaker. As a result, some presentations may not be available for webcast, and some webcast presentations may not include all slides. The permission status of each speaker is listed for all webcasts by viewing the session or presentation detail.
Technical Support Information
Webcasts are available on supported versions of both Windows and Macintosh computers and require the Adobe Flash Player version 10.x installed on your computer.
Check now to determine from Adobe if you have version 10 of the Flash player installed on your computer.
Video webcasts require that you have a broadband Internet connection with at least 300kbps of download connectivity. If you are having difficulty with playback of a video webcast, for example playback is buffering frequently, select the "Audio" link which requires less bandwidth than the video webcasts. While this option does synchronize the static slides in the presentations, it does not include any videos embedded in the presentation to limit the bandwidth demands of this option. If you have trouble with the audio webcast, you may not have sufficient bandwidth on your internet connection to view the webcasts.
If you are still having trouble viewing the webcasts, please carefully review the detailed System Requirements and Troubleshooting Steps webpage for further support information.
Mobile Device Supported Platforms
Apple iOS devices (Apple iPad and iPhone)
Android mobile devices with Adobe Flash player 10.1.
Users with a supported mobile device listed above and an enabled Internet connection can stream slide presentation video directly from the webcast navigation page. Please note that some advanced interactivity features of the desktop player are not supported on mobile devices.
Accessing on Desktop Computers
For each session, users may access sessions in two different versions of the media player:
- Slide video -- video of the speaker's slide presentation is the default stream displayed in the player. This option displays all speaker mouse movements and videos included in presentations.
- Audio -- audio of the speaker's presentation is the default stream in the player. Static slide images in the slide presentations are synchronized to the audio stream. As noted, videos embedded in the presentation are not included in this option to limit the amount of bandwidth needed to view the presentation.
Some selected sessions also include podium video where video of the presenter synchronized to the speaker's slide presentation is also included as a webcast option.
Navigating the Session Webcast
The player offers several tools to navigate the session:
- Browse Slides -- use the browse slides tab on the left-hand side of the player to either preview the slides in the session or navigate to that point in the session by selecting the slide thumbnail image. These are the tools available to preview the slides in the presentation:
