Connect with the other participants

One of the main aims of an in-person event is to connect with other participants. This can be a driver for new collaborations with different stakeholders in the field. We wouldn't want you to miss out on that experience! NetworkTables enables you to connect with conference participants, exchange contact details and remain in touch with them after the conference. So please fill in your NetworkTables profile when you register for the event! You'll find instructions on the registration page. NetworkTables is an online service which does not require you to install software on your computer.
