Let us know if you prefer to opt-out from this opportunity.

POSTER SESSION | Delegates that submitted a contribution accepted as poster will have time for a short speech (3 minutes, no slides) during the poster session, Thursday after lunch. Please conceive it as an appetizer to motivate the participants to discuss further your ideas before leaving on Friday afternoon.
