Use the Networking room on Zoom to build links with other attendees by discussing the presentations and the issues they raise. We want the conference to strengthen relationships within and between the scientific, medical and patient communities.
On the main presentation video stream only the presenters can speak. Delegates can only use the text-based chat system. In the Networking room everyone is able to speak
The room will be available throughout 2 two days. Everyone is invited to join it after each talk ends. Ask questions, give inspiration, challenge assumptions, start collaborations. At certain times the room is reserved for specific topics.
Speakers are not guaranteed to take part and may well prefer to join in during a break time rather than immediately after their presentation so they can hear the following speakers.
