Networking Opportunities

At the EACR, we know that conferences are about more than just hearing the latest research. Our events are well-known for providing excellent opportunities for networking, interaction and discussion. Virtual events are no exception. Here are some of the features you can look forward to at the EACR Liquid Biopsies virtual conference:

• Virtual Poster Discussion Session
• Discussion Forum
• Participant List
• Twitter

Virtual Poster Discussion Session

Thursday 19 November, 13:00-14:00 CET

There is a dedicated 60-minute Poster Discussion Session in the programme at the beginning of the second day. At this time, participants are invited to join us in Gather (using the unique URL you will be sent by email). You can control your character to walk around the 2D virtual poster hall. Poster presenters can stand by their posters to discuss their work with other participants and invited speakers over video chat or message.

You can personalise your avatar to look more like you, search for other participants by name, and even gather in groups for informal chat.

An online abstract book will be available to logged-in participants for you to browse and click in to view each virtual poster at any time during the conference.

Discussion Forum

Thursday 19 November, 17:45-18:45 CET

Members of the conference Scientific Programme Committee: Caroline Dive, Carlos Caldas and Evi Lianidou, will discuss topics raised in the conference talks over the previous two days.

Participants can join in with typed questions or by speaking on your microphones. 

Participant List

Conference participants will be sent a list of the attendees who opted-in to sharing their details. You can use this list to contact fellow conference goers to start a discussion about their presentation, abstract or maybe a question they asked during a talk.

Twitter

Follow us on Twitter for updates @EACRnews and engage with the conference with #eacrLiquidBiopsies. You could use this to promote your virtual poster, to comment on a talk you enjoyed or to continue the discussion with other participants.
