Each scientific session finishes with a live and interactive Q&A. There are also breaks included, in order for you to have time in between to chat with other participants and to explore the sponsor lobby.

All live sessions will be recorded. The recordings will be made available on this platform from 7 May – 30 June 2021 (23:59 CET)..

Opening hours Sponsor Lobby
The official opening hours of the Sponsor lobby are from 15:00 – 18:30 CEST on the official congress days (4-6 May). During these times, you can (video-)chat with the sponsors. Outside these hours you are free to continue exploring the Sponsor lobby, but the sponsors might not be available for chats or calls.

Will my data be shared with sponsors and exhibitors?
Yes, your contact information will be shared with the company if you visit their virtual space, join a Manufacturer session, or click on any sponsored materials. Please note everything on the platform is “clickable”, therefore, if you click on a sponsored content or a logo your data will be shared with that specific sponsor. These partners might contact you during or after the congress via email.

How can I find a sponsor?
Please visit the Sponsor Lobby via the Sponsor screen on the main page of the platform or in the menu bar. You can also click on the logo of the sponsor in the footer.

You can interact with sponsors via their own dedicated virtual page. Here you can chat, video call or leave a message via a contact form. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with them!

How can I interact with fellow participants?
We offer a chat on the platform. Here you can see who else is online on the bottom right panel of the screen. Via the chat you can have a live interaction with the participants who are currently also on the platform. Reach out to your colleagues and have a conversation!

What device can I use to access the platform?
The congress platform is accessible via any device that can connect to the Internet via an Internet browser; this could be your desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

This platform is mobile responsive and is automatically formatted to play on most mobile devices. Simply log in on your mobile device. We cannot guarantee compatibility with every mobile device as operating system requirements frequently vary.

Do I have to be online to use the platform?
Yes. It requires that you are online and logged in to view the content of the virtual congress. Also note that you can only watch sessions on one device at a time.
