Abstract
This article shares the best practice of how the virtual event went successfully from ASTRO's Annual Meeting held in October. They started their preparation to plan the event 6 months early from the meeting date. This made it possible for them not to be in a hurry so that they could find the right virtual platform for their meeting-6Connex. Also, they took enough time for their exhibitors to get used to the new platform by providing a "Soft launch" from the day before the actual convention. Besides that, ASTRO prepared to pre-record contents including 220 poster sessions.
