To join online, please register by purchasing a free online ticket via GoOut. You will receive the access links shortly before the conference begins.
The main part of the programme (opening, keynote lectures, panel discussion and closing remarks) will be livestreamed via MS Teams. Please keep your microphone muted while watching so as not to disturb other participants. You will be able to join the discussion via Slido or chat.
Networking will take place on ZOOM in breakout rooms, with several themed virtual discussion tables and one open networking table.
For the best experience, we recommend using a computer with MS Teams and Zoom installed, though you can also join via your browser. Cameras are not needed for the livestreamed sessions, but we recommend turning them on during Zoom networking to make connections easier.
