Closing Remarks

Poster Sessions

Poster sessions will be organized in gather.town. Posters will be displayed in designated poster rooms, with authors available to talk during their scheduled time. You can think of this as a ‘normal’ poster session – like the ones we have at in-person conferences -just in a virtual space this time. These sessions are not chaired. When you visit a poster, you will be able to see and hear the presenter, and they will be able to answer your questions or walk you through their study. You can control whether your video and microphone are on.

Here’s a brief tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdRi0CPohYA
