</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In Cape Town, we are aiming to bridge the gap between the in-person and online attendees where we can. All posters will be e-posters and available to all attendees in the conference platform, and poster sessions will be conducted hybrid in the exhibition
hall. We are also exploring the possibility of roaming <strong>Zoom</strong> rooms where online attendees will be hosted by an in-person volunteer to explore the venue, and other ways to bring online attendees to Cape Town. Stay tuned for more!</p>
<p><br>

<p class="x_last-child">Do you have any ideas for <strong>online events or initiatives</strong> you’d like to contribute or suggest? We’re open to hearing your ideas for organising meetings in the
<strong>Spatial</strong> venue or other creative ways of bringing the virtual community together. Please feel free to get in touch with us!</p>
