Friday Morning Plenary
Location: INSPIRE auditorium
Date & Time: Thu 20, 10:00 - 11:15
The morning plenaries will gather all the participants together for an hour and quarter before the multiple simultaneous topic streams start. This is the moment to get inspired by some of the featured speakers and also to get an (extremely) quick overview to the highlights of the day’s program.
During the morning plenaries there is no other activities in the conference, so the INSPIRE auditorium may be quite crowded - be early, the program starts 10 AM sharp. The morning plenaries will be streamed online also to the INSPIRE foyer.
