Topical Networking

Throughout the congress, special topical networking events will be scheduled, mostly during break-times. Before, in-between or after sessions, you are invited to join us on our special networking platform powered by SpatialChat. This platform allows you to easily join networking rooms that resemble the in-person experience. A very simple log-in process allows you to join the congress space. Move between networking rooms or, once inside a room, move freely between groups of people to quickly change dialogue context, listen or simply hang out while you wait for the next scheduled activity to start.

Please check our short tutorial here.
