Raising-the-Curtain Sessions

Leading up to Virtual WCN’21, between April 12-14, ISN Collective-Member Societies and Regional Societies joined us in a unique Raising-the-Curtain Series of sessions. The special format connected our community around the world in the days before the congress. Bridging different regions, the presentations brought unique regional issues to the forefront but also highlighted topics we have in common. The sessions are given open access, meaning they are open for all and registration is not required.

The sessions were scheduled at a time that is convenient for the presenting region. Respecting the original location of congress, the times indicated below are according to Montreal time (EDT). The time needs to be converted to reflect your own location.
