Break-out sessions with speakers
Following each presentation, the online participants have the opportunity to talk with the speaker in a separate break-out room. This is done in the well-known ‘Zoom format’ where everyone can see each other and unmute themselves. This takes place parallel to the conference program, which of course continues according to the schedule. If necessary, you can always review the video recording of (the start of) the next presentation.

Pre/Post-conference seminars by Donald Farmer, Alec Sharp, Keith McCormick and John O’Brien
Preceding and following the conference we will run several virtual half day seminars by acclaimed international speakers. If combined with conference, the registration fee is only € 250,- for each half day seminar. You can easily register for these on the conference registration form.

Limited time? Join one day!
Can you only attend one day? It is possible to attend only the first or only the second conference day and of course the full conference. The presentations by our speakers have been selected in such a way that they can stand on their own. This enables you to attend the second conference day even if you did not attend the first (or the other way around). Delegates also gain four months access to the conference recordings of the elected day so there’s no need to miss out on any session.

Payment by credit card is also available for attendees. Please mention this in the Comment-field upon registration and find further instructions for credit card payment on our customer service page.
