If you are not able to present live due to technical restrictions for e.g. low internet connection, it is possible to send us a recorded presentation as well. We will show it online in the scheduled session. Please contact the symposium email latest on Monday 19 October for this option.

For coffee and lunch breaks, the organizer will transfer you from Zoom 1 to the Virtual lobby. For this, accept the breakout room invitation (in a pop-up window). In case you do not find the invitation, check your display again as the invitation sometimes hides under other open windows.

In case you are in Zoom 2, you need to return to Zoom 1 first to be transferred to the Virtual lobby.

For sharing thoughts, ideas, questions and further information during the symposium, we have created Slack channels for the use of the symposium guests.
