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.

Limited time? Join one day & conference recordings
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.
