The virtual event caters to everyone that is committed to inspiring people with science and technology. During the three-day conference, attendees will be able to make new contacts and say hi to friends and colleagues from across the sector, through private video chats, public conversations, interactive sessions and social events.
The conference will also feature inspiring keynote speakers and educational sessions that explore a range of relevant topics, from the pandemic and the climate crisis to equity, informal learning, audience research and more. Participants can discover the latest research in science and science engagement as well as discussing best practice.
Meanwhile, in the event’s Business Buzz, attendees will find out about new products, services and projects from the show’s exhibitors, with live Q&A, product demos and training sessions on offer.
