Additional Information for Online Participants
Can I give a talk or present a poster online?

Please note that online participation is limited to posters only. Talks will be held exclusively onsite, but online participants will have the option to upload their PDF posters to the virtual poster room. While not live, this space can be accessed alongside the in-person posters, with a Q&A chat available. Online participants will be able to follow every talk and ask questions. If you would like to submit an online poster, please select Poster (online) as the abstract type during submission.

How can I ask questions as an online participant during the event?

As an online participant, you can actively engage in the presentations. You can ask your questions via the live chat or activate your microphone to speak directly with the speakers. This allows you to participate interactively in the discussions, even in a virtual setting.
