Those of you who have attended previously will know our annual event programme is vast and complex. And while hosting an online event means potentially better access and reach, we do not wish to overwhelm our delegates with not only long hours but also long screen time.
What we are planning to do is provide a range of online experiences, that would normally be offered across 3 or 4 ‘physical’ days, over a period of 15 ‘virtual’ days. We are proposing the scientific core of the programme will be provided between Monday 6th September and Friday 10th September with a whole host of SIG meetings and events, EECERA business meetings, in the week before (week commencing 30th August) and social programme and seminars / workshops, the week after (week commencing 13th September).
To better reflect the style of the event we’re now planning, we would like to now invite you to participate in our EECERA Online Festival 2021.
