During this session, the best poster abstract presentations for each of the main congress themes will be awarded. The awards review committee will shortlist three (3) poster abstracts for each congress theme based on scores and quality of presentations. The nine (9) shortlisted presenters will be invited to this special live session during which their one-minute poster presentation video will be showcased. Presenters will have the opportunity to interact live with the audience, whose votes during the session will determine the three (3) “Best Poster Abstract Award” winners.

Networking Break

19:00 - 20:00 Join us for a virtual hangout!

Move off the Zoom grid and join us for a virtual hangout that is really a lot of fun!
Enter a virtual world where you walk around freely with your robot avatar. Just like in real life--at least most of the time--you decide where to go, whom to talk to, and what groups to join.
People closer to you will be louder and you can join them in conversations while still hearing the background buzz. You can also goof around with interactive stuff that makes socializing even more fun, from picking up props to playing games.
Give it a try and see--it'll be a welcome change of pace.
