Best Industry Paper Award

We encourage you to take a look around and get familiar with the oral and poster sessions, the Gather.Town spaces, chat channels, and the Whova app. You can start watching the pre-recorded videos that can be found through the 'schedule' or 'sessions' tab. If you have questions for the authors you can write them in the chat boxes next to the videos or posters. Posters can be accessed through the 'Posters' tab.

Please remember that Gather.town and Zoom links should be kept private to registered participants, to ensure high standards of professional conduct, smooth functioning of the technology, and fair access to our materials. You can post or share only links to (the protected) Underline sessions (e.g. https://underline.io/events/122/sessions?eventSessionId=4103).
