Virtual Participation
For VIZBI 2014 we will offer 'virtual participation', which allows access to a live web stream of high-quality video covering all scheduled talks during the main conference (does not cover tutorials). The web streaming service also allows virtual participants to type in questions for the speaker via chat, which are passed to the session chair during question period at the end of each talk. We highly recommend you first test the web streaming on your system using EMBL's Media Requirements page. Virtual participants can also choose to upload a short video which will be displayed during one of the Lightning talk session - for details, see the Posters page. The registration deadline for virtual participation is 22 February 2014.
