We will hold the poster presentation on one side of the room, and also supply coffee here, with a small stage for 2 short talks. So there will be a lot of people mingling around the sponsors’ tables.
There is space in the middle of the room, but no power outlets. So if you would like to set up in the middle of the room and you require power, then you will need to bring extension cables and thick masking tape, to avoids any risks.
180cm exhibitor tables will be supplied
