#MTconference

So just what is a Virtual Conference?

Over the years Materials Today has run a number of highly popular events, allowing researchers from around the world to access top conference materials from the comfort of their offices, and with no registration or travel fees. With each event we’ve made a number of additions to the platform to enhance the experience of our delegates and presenters, and this year is no different.

This year, we’ve revised the poster platform.  Now, you’ll be able to present your poster alongside other posters on a similar theme, and delegates will be able to submit questions to presenters, fostering the spirit of discovery and collaboration. You also be able to vote for your favourite posters – the winner will receive the Delegates’ Choice award, with the conference chairs selecting an Editors’ Choice award. So make sure you and your colleagues log in and vote between the 24th-26th April 2013 to help decide a winner. Click here to submit your poster – the extended and final deadline is the 12th April 2013. 

In addition to posters, you’ll also be able to access some exciting and exclusive content – including presentations
from our invited speakers. The presentations will be available to view from 2pm (BST/GMT 1) on the 24th April – but return to the presentation at the times noted below to take part in a live Question & Answer session with the presenter.
