Presenter information

Find below some instructions concerning the poster and oral presentations!

Posters

The poster sessions will be online. We are currently integrating the poster sessions into our network conference app: Networkapp, and expect ample opportunities for attendees to look at the poster (videos) and ask questions during the online Q&A sessions.

Online Q&A sessions

The online Q&A sessions will be held via gather.town, an interactive environment where participants will be able to connect via video chat. The link to enter the town will be available via Networkapp.

We split the posters into odd and even numbers. Please check your poster number in the Networkapp (based on your abstract submission number) and make sure you are there to present your poster on: 

• 27 October, 16:30-17:15 (odd numbers)
• 28 October, 11:45-12:30 (even numbers)

Of course you are welcome to join both sessions as we encourage participants to interact with each other!

Oral presentations

The keynote and parallel session presentations will be held via Zoom. Zoom links will be made available via the Networkapp (conference app). You will receive an invitation for the app. Please set up the app on your computer and phone as soon as possible (the app is already accessible).
