Speed Networking Reception

Tuesday 10 October, 16:30 – 17:15
Invited conference speakers, the EACR and EACR Ambassadors will each host their own table in the Restaurant area of Harnack House. Over two rotations of 20 minutes each, conference participants will be invited to visit tables of their choice, getting the opportunity to meet the conference speakers and organisers plus other conference attendees. Taking place on the first evening, this informal session is designed to give participants an opportunity to make lots of new connections in a short space of time.

Welcome Reception

A complimentary buffet dinner will be served for all participants and exhibitors to enjoy on Tuesday evening. Why not take the opportunity to make new connections in an informal setting! The trade exhibition will be open at this time, and Poster Discussion Session 1 will follow at 18:15.
