Virtual Participation

Can’t make it to Dubai? You can still be part of the conversation.

We’re offering a virtual participation option for those who can’t attend in person but want to share their research, projects, or programs, exchange ideas, and connect with the global community.

We strongly encourage everyone who is able to join us on site. Being there in person offers the richest opportunities to connect, collaborate, and fully engage in the conference experience. At the same time, we recognise that travel to Dubai is not possible for everyone. 

Therefore the conference is fully hybrid. A dedicated virtual conference day will take place on 17 March, where most virtual presentations will be scheduled. The in-person conference in Dubai from 18–20 March will also be livestreamed, with a limited number of virtual presentation slots available during the main conference programme.

Your Virtual Conference Experience

Virtual delegates will be able to participate in the dedicated Virtual Day on 17 March and follow the in-person Dubai conference from 18–20 March via livestream. Available recordings will also be accessible on demand through Whova.

The event will be hosted on Whova, a leading conference platform that supports an engaging and interactive online experience.

Through Whova, participants will be able to:

  • Attend live conference sessions and presentations
  • Watch session recordings on demand
  • Participate in Q&A and discussion forums
  • Connect with other delegates through messaging, community boards, and networking tools
  • Access the full conference program, speaker profiles, and updates in one place

Whova makes it possible to recreate many of the benefits of an in-person conference — including spontaneous conversations, thematic discussions, and opportunities to build new connections with others working in this space.
