Need help navigating our conference platform, Whova? HERE is a user-guide.
There are three tracks that have concurrent sessions for attendees to choose what most suites their interest: scientific, beginner and artistic. Using the event schedule below, if attendees are interested in only one of the tracks, the “Filter By Track” section on the right can be adjusted by clicking or unclicking tracks most interesting to you (feature not available through mobile). Or, leave all the tracks checked to see all of the sessions. You’re welcome to attend sessions from any track. If there are two sessions you’re interested in that occur at the same time, you can watch the recording later.
